Carbon fiber masts generally have better performance than aluminum masts in several ways:
Stiffness
Carbon fiber masts are stiffer than aluminum masts, which means they don't bend and twist as much over time. This results in less fatigue and a longer lifespan, with some estimates suggesting that carbon masts can last twice as long as aluminum masts.
Strength
Carbon fiber is stronger than aluminum, and it has a higher yield point, meaning it can be bent further without failing.
Weight
The Carbon Fiber Mast is 40% lighter than the Aluminum mast, which can lead to smoother sailing conditions.
Corrosion
Carbon fiber masts don't corrode, while aluminum masts can suffer from galvanic, pitting, or other types of corrosion.
Reparability
Carbon fiber masts are easier to repair if they're damaged.
