Hi everyone,

Fiberspar just called me back with an answer to my fiberglass mast
problem. One of their engineers explained that the splintering is
caused by long term UV damage, and doesn't necessarily mean that the
mast has been structurally weakened. Their recommendation was to coat
it with marine varnish and to continue using it, with some caution.
