[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=bh3700]This may be a stupid question, but here I go anyway... I have an early 80's Nacra 5.0. My wife at times gets a bit concerned about the weight of the mast while we raise it. Did the aluminum masts get lighter with more recent editions or did they stay about the same per ft?
Thanks.[/quote]
Newer boats probably don't have any lighter masts, but older boats might have much heavier masts... If they are full of water!
It's not that uncommon for a mast to collect a good amount of water due to both leaks and condensation. If you can compare to another similar mast and it seems a lot heavier, or if you can notice any water movement when tilting it back and forth it might be worth opening up the ends to check.[/quote]
