I would say the mast is overbuilt. I have compared the wall thickwall of the mast
with other brands of 30 + footers and they don't even come close to the wall
thickness of the A-30 mast.

    Greg, 
        I don't know whether the mast is over-built, but my boat was hit by a tornado in the fall of 1995 at her pier. The force was such that it broke off two hefty pilings at the point they entered the bottom mud but the Alberg's mast was only slightly bent above the spreaders. Tornados are "funny" things, but the boat stood up pretty well. The same storm twisted off several 18-24 inch trees ashore.
