Dude, I bought my big boards last week, and I am playing with the mast.
I am thinking of using my "employment skills" to create some kind of a mast.
I have been looking at the store bought ones, but dont like the quality of construction, or the designs.
You know we can CNC our own mast's.
I was thinking it would be great if I could machine two small masts out of stainless rather than aluminum, and cut the bases to fit my cannon downrigger bases. That way I dont have to attach more crap, or drill more holes in my boat.
I bet we could put our heads together and come up with something more sturdy, and quality and cheaper than buying those cheap masts.
I doubt you will find anyone using them, most guys are content to rig in-line with heavy off shore boards.
I havent ever seen anyone in utah using rivieras, or church mast boards.
