    For a general weight, what would a 19 foot tapered carbon mast weigh WITH the boom? Thanks.

    Hard to say whehn we don't know the boat. It depends on rightening moment, sail area or the sail carrying ability.

    The carbon spars weighs about 50% of an aluminium spar.
    The complete rigg may weig about 70% of an aluminium rigg.
