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.

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

Ive got an angel stick on my moth aswell and its a bit more flexy than id like but does seem to be quite light and well built.

As for this mast getting to expensive 'at the end' stu, 1 second to go and the highest bid was a comfy £29 which I wouldnt call pricy. Admitedly inside that last second some chunt pushed it up to £56 but id still consider that to be pretty good value.

Turns out damage was just over 6.1m from the tip (at gooseneck height)

Anyone want to hazard a guess what combination of '6'  '.' and '1' makes up the length, in metres, of how long I needed my new mast to be?

Beut.

The 600 mast has a plastic track so id guess its not the old angel one, who makes the newer ones? superspars?
