18 sounds about rigth..... its a Laser Mast ...lol
Without kidding I need one which the wife can handle i.e. Line extendeable ...
She clips the fat part onto the mast, clicks in the line fo the sail and than pull it out ...... gibyng she pulls it in and pulls the sail and pole all connected to the other side and than extends the pole again ....
thats the idea anyhow
