Mark,
I don't know what state of repair your sails are in or what size sails you
use, but if you are like me and stay on b&j or wave sails less than 6.0M,
you should probably consider buying a 430 mast not a 460. Most sail
manufacturers these days are designing sails around shorter (read softer)
masts. Obviously, if you are using big race sails then this point is moot.
Cheers.......Chilly.

Allen -- my 230 bottom broke at 2.7 seasons too. That looks like a pretty
predictable track record. Looks like it's time for a new mast system.... Any
good reccomendations out there for a standard diameter 460 mast good for
North sails? They need an imcs 26 which is not shown for the Fibrespars.
Only the 460 North xcellerator (80% carbon) is rated at 26 imcs.....any
thoughts? mark.

My 210 broke last week after 2.7 seasons. I have switched to Powerex
skinny
because I hear they are bullet proof. I still have 190 bottom 210 and 230
tops. The tops never break. It is always the bottoms with the Norths.
