[Public-List] A30 Mast Cross Section

[John Maliszewski]

The cross section I have recently measured has thickness of .185 inches
across the sidewalls and .166 inches across the flat surface where the track
mounts. The front round wall also measures .166 inches at the apex of its
radius.

I can't imagine a heavier sectioned mast than the A30. 

The items of concern I would have are th mast step and chain plates.

30 aluminum mast - are you sailing with your original mast or did you
replace it with newer/heaver cross section. In your experience now, do you
think the original aluminum cross section is sufficient?
