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.
The tables list the values for steel masts. For aluminium masts, the
free mast length is reduced to 75% of the values for steel.
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.
