A mast is a man-made support structure, commonly used on sailing ships as support for sails, or on land as radio masts and towers used to support telecommunication equipment such as radio antennas ("aerials" in the UK).
Masts are ranked by overall pinnacle height, and in the case of a tie, the older structure is ranked first.
Most of the taller masts are located in the United States, where a prevalence of masts of around 2000 feet (609.6 m) in height is the result of special rules in that country limiting structures and objects taller than 2000 feet.

 List of masts
Shorter masts often need no guy lines and usually end up being referred to as a pole, such as a telephone pole (though these often have guy lines) or flag poles.
The standard mast differs significantly from towers (see List of towers) in rarely being free standing or having any habitable space excluding attached structures at ground level or service ladders/elevators.
Self-supporting masts are covered as towers under the List of towers, and the borderline cases are mentioned separately (hybrid designs, under water, etc.) elsewhere on this page.

 Chairman's Report 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
It was suggested that 100 percent carbon masts be allowed, due to the measurement difficulty, but this was not the general feeling of the group.
It was generally agreed that masts that contain 75 percent carbon or less are the target masts for the class.
Because carbon content is impossible to measure at the beach (practically), it was agreed that a list of acceptable masts was the best way to go, with any mast not currently on the list to be subject to a strict weight requirement, which might be slightly on the heavy side.

Sailing a Cal 2-27 after a spin on a modern sport boat design is like petting a benign St. Bernard after escaping a vicious and hyperactive Chihuahua.

Longtime owners will point out that an area for scrutiny on used 2-27’s is the untapered deck-stepped mast.

Speaking in an interview last week from Washington D.C., Carlo says that published, peer-reviewed studies from 2000 and 2001 show that adults using cell phones for between 500 and 800 minutes (roughly between eight and 14 hours) a month, for five to 10 years, face a doubling of their risk of brain tumours.
...Perhaps with this in mind, St Mary's in Bideford should follow the example of the Roman Catholic Church which has now banned and removed phone masts from all its churches in Italy on the grounds of health with regard to electromagnetic pollution and because they are alien to the sanctity of the church.
