Having just modified someone else's mast step, the attached (showing the sort of mod that Andy had to make) may be of interest should you ever find yourself in the same boat ;)
No sail changes in the pipeline, AFAIK. (IMO, the mast changes were really down to Selden 'rationalising' leaving Sailboats with a problem.)
I suspect that Hydes will be quite happy to cut out sails for a while yet (until the cloth becomes obsolete), especially at the price we pay for them :o
To assist in the selection of a modern mast section, mast fore-aft stiffness measurements were made on a couple of 'used' masts.
A report is attached.

The first customer for the new Selden mast from sailboats.co.uk has written a short review of it (attached).

Mike,
Many thanks for the reports on the new mast!!
I am sure one day I will need one or more of these and the information you provided will be very helpful.
Are there any other changes in the pipeline, such as sail mods to go with the new mast?
Kind regards,
Trevor
