    5) Taper the mast to reduce tip weight, and drag. 6) mix and match the above to design an all round better mast. A taller mast can only help in wind speeds low enough that you are still looking for more power (below hull speed in non-reefing conditions) and the extra drag makes it harder to reach that point.

  6. Mast vs boat length

    Although mast lengths average 1.3xLOA, the sail area and configuration (type and aspect ratio) determine the mast and rigging specification. An estimate for a cruising sailboat is 16 to 18 (say 17) for SA/Disp^0.667, where SA is sail area and Disp is volume. ... Realistically, mast height depends on what the vessel is for and where it sails ...
