We have just added Mast Wear Protect strips to our increasing range of solutions for your Laser. This was prompted by a failure of my own Radial mast a month ago – the first mast breakage that I had. It was clear to me that the mast had been weakened by wear around the deck level – which is where it broke. Comprising two strips of UHMWPE with acrylic adhesive to be applied around the mast at the bottom and at the deck level, they help reduce the wear and tear of the gelcoat, and abrasion of the anodising on the mast itself. These wear protect strips are class legal (ILCA Rule Part 3, Section 19, Point (i). You can find them listed here Mast Wear Strips
