Hi Mark,

I figured and I should have clarified that in my initial response. Sorry about that. I was merely just trying to highlight a known area of wear for prospective buyers. Not sure how other feel but my understanding is that the older masts have some benefits. Not sure if it is weight or bend characteristics thought since I am still learning the boat. Might need to hear from the other that have been in the fleet a long time to weigh in.
