The newer masts have a fixed connection. Secondly, the new mast finish was silver, at least until last year, so the vast majority of black spars belong to the older generation.Sun, 15 Feb 2009 09:16:48 GMTscraighttp://www.cscow.org/forum/Topic160-4-1.aspxI am in the market for a used c-scow and in my reading about the boats there is a lot of talk about old verses new when it comes to mast types. How do I identify it the boat has a newer type mast verses the older aluminum masts. This seems important when it comes to sailing techniques.Wed, 10 Dec 2008 12:10:55 GMTcscowhine
