i can slipe my 45cm mast extention right into my 400 mast and use no exteniton on the mase base .. i would of though the mast base would bend slightly but that bottom 50cm of mast does have a lot of bend in it anny ways..

Amazing !

I feel like a time traveller 200 years into a post-apocalyptic future listening in to a conversation in a language so degraded that I can't understand it.

ok then i have noticed no bend to but i've seen sailworks mast with a ring at the bottom most part for some reason probably to protect it thanks tho

Johno, you lost us in the translation, then again we are Aussies
Please splain yourself, so we know what the heck your asking, even if you sorted it. Better yet post a photo

Use of ext on left = 0 ext ? is that the load points are so close together ,usually a little play in fitting and load point on inside by pulleys and only a few cm above on opposite side of mast.A normal extension spreads the load further up into the mast.Hope this helps those who are a little lost.
I was concerned about the same issue but after using zero ext on several sails/masts over the last few years haven't had any problems.
