Mast length at the 2011 EC-12 Nationals

I know it is still early, but we need to be told some time if this is going to be an issue. Why wait?
8.0 MAST
8.1 Maximum mast height (inclusive of mast crane) shall not exceed 72" (1829 mm) above the deck.
Any other surprises in store? (Mast length has not been an issue at sny previous national championship that I have attended.) I assume wide keels will be grandfathered. I always loved the picture on the old Hartman site of the glass hull with (no gel coat of course and) the sanded places on the side of the keel.
I think it is best to cut the top rather thna the bottom as a crooked mast bottom can sit funny and want to bend off to one side.
