On my F33 the masts had been painted with white Interlux Bright Side
paint. That paint has not held up well! It has cracked and is now
exposing parts the mast to UV.
Is there a better paint for this application. I am considering some
sort of elastomeric (stretchy) product. The problem is it needs to
have good resistance to UV. Any ideas?

Might try checking with the Wylie Cat people. They have pretty “bendy” CF spars, and I think(?) they are painted… PWMSkip Turpin <skipperf33@…> wrote: On my F33 the masts had been painted with white Interlux Bright Side paint.

Skip, the cracks are inevitable over time. You’ll have to redo the
masts every somany years.
I’ve heard of good results with Awlgrip and with Imron.
