Mast length (100 cm)
The below tables show the minimum dimensions for a
SAILOR XTR Ka
ADU mast with
and without stays or wires. Note that the values are only guidelines - always consider the
environment and characteristics of the ship before deciding on the mast dimensions.
Note
The tables list the values for
steel masts
. For
aluminium masts
, the
free mast length is reduced to 75% of the values for steel.
Note
Bracing and rigid masts can still not prevent vertical vibration if the mast
is attached to a deck plate that is not rigid. Make every effort to mount
the mast on a surface that is well supported by ribs. If this is not possible,
provide extra deck plate propping.
