no im not meaning across the board, im talking about the 600 masts that roger made, i used an angel mast on the moth and it was far better than the previous carbon effort it came with, very light and stiff in the lower section but with  good tip for the gusts

Really??? It took the big name spar manufacturers a long time to come up with anything anywhere near as good (esp. in classes which allowed spars from more than one source, and also during development to replace the Angell item for the 600).  As Jim says, the ali sleeve thing was a weak point.

Well yes, but that was principally due to the d*** silly alloy sleeve...

The ad. says "originally from an rs 600, but you can convert to use it on any dinghy. it has been used on other dinghys before so there a few extra small holes where we attached a spinaker etc".

So it's a 600 mast with various non-standard bits & holes (including the spreaders - the Angell 600 masts had the diamond arrangement which AFAIK has been unchanged since day 1).

Oops, sorry, shhhh....
