When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

tall rig mast

Hi Rachele,
A tall rig mast lets you carry more sail and you'll get a longer range VHF signal from a masthead antenna. You probably need a deeper keel to counterbalance as in the reference you posted.
"chiglia ​e timone ​più ​profondi​ e l’albero maggiorato"

See
tall rig vs the standard rig
tall rig boats can also have deeper keels which might be an issues if you sail in shallow waters.

Tall rig vs regular
The tall rig mast is 2' taller, a few square feet more of sail area for both the main and jib.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you Joe. This is the correct technical term indeed. It's standard rig vs tall rig, and many sailboats with tall rig have a deeper keel, as you said. Thanks"

This seems to be fairly straightforward.

oversize mast

In the technical literature I translate into Italian, "maggiorato" is usually found as "oversize".
So I've googled for "oversize mast" and I think some good reference files will help you to understand if my translation fits your text.

I have also found a bilingual reference:
http://www.pilotoio.it/2/:
It has three cabins and two bathrooms, is equipped in performance version with oversize mast, full-batten main sail, jib, foresail, gennaker and storm jib, bow thruster, as well as an instrumentation

http://www.pilotoio.it/
E' una imbarcazione molto maneggevole, comoda, sicura e divertente; ha tre cabine e due bagni, è armata in versione performance con albero maggiorato, randa e genoa basati su tecnologie
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : Oversize means larger than something else, in this case the Classic version.

Thank you for your remark. By the way, "maggiorato" is an adjective used in the technical field and "larger" does not sound too technical to me. But I'm not a mother tongue.
