A short film by Rik on mast technology...
  March 2010: Technical Support - Understanding Mast Technology  
I often get asked about how important a mast is in the overall context of achieving great rig performance. It is abundantly clear to me that there is a poor level of understanding out there! Because of this I decided to produce a short information film and create some more detailed reference pages...
Learn about the importance of...
 
Construction techniques, carbon content and weight.
Stiffness, the bend curve, and how the mast flexes.
The pros and cons of RDM and SDM types.
Why masts can fail and how to prevent that.
The film and the detailed info pages can be found in the support section.
