| I 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.

| One quick way to identify many of the older masts is to notice the sliding rail for the boom. 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.
