Hi. I'm building an 18 foot folding trimaran. I have an opportunity to buy a solcat 18 mast. What are your thoughts on this mast as compared to others from other similar boats. The suggested mast length is 8.6 meters, the 28 ft mast fits the size.
I'm concerned about strength. The sail area will be considerably larger having a square top main and a larger jib along with a spin.
Would this mast hold up? I intend to add one set of spreaders and diamond wire.
Anyway, how does the solcat 18 mast compare to something like a hobie 18 mast or a Tornado mast?
Thanks,
Jetboy
