IM-180 Mast Components
The IM-180 was designed as a direct replacement for the discontinued Isomat NG-31 Mast Section. The Integral Spinnaker Track was eliminated, resulting in lower overall weight and increased strength to weight ratios. Except for the integral Spinnaker Track, the Sections are identical, and most parts are interchangeable. For complete Mast Assemblies, contact us with details.

Parts used primarily or exclusively with the IM-180 Mast Section are listed here.
 * For all other parts, See Isomat NG-31 Mast Section.
