Worlds tallest aluminum mast



As you may or may not know I'm into sailing and I work with sailing. There are so many cool boats and ideas out there and I go nuts when I find out about them.

Like this, the tallest aluminum mast in the world, 75 meters. Wow. Why they didn't make it out of carbon I don't know but wholly mackerel it is something else. It was built by OYS (Ocean Yacht Systems) for PeriniNavi in Italy.

Tallest one I built was only 28 meters. I thought that was huge at the time.

As much as I admire this project I'm sure glad that it's not me who has to tune the rig, can you imagine?
