thanks 'slop'... that link seemed to be talking about salt water fatigue on carbon epoxy laminates. Was there another paper you were thinking of?

  Wait a bit. This article is to do with salt water effects only, not electric fields. . The discussion is quite a buzz actually...

Put my new boat in the boat park at the weekend. It has a carbon mast. It now lives under a Pylon. When I was putting the mast up, and indeed when it was rigged, I got some monster shocks from the mast. Not only did it shock me many times it was making an crackerling sound?!

I know there is a field given off by Pylons but this seemed much more intense than I would have expected.

Also does anyone think this could affect my mast!
