Yup - no longer made, BUT that's not the end -
A guy very successfully put a H18 mast and sails on his boat (a 21 SE) and it seemed to work really well for him. The SE is only a bit lighter and I think is close to the same hulls.
Actually it was my 21
SC. It works great. I have pushed the boat reasonably hard 3-up with the H18mast with no issues except a torn jib, but the mast can hardly be blamed.

One of the worst things you can do to a comptip is to leave it out in the sun, exposed to UV. If you trailer sail, get a cover for it or make sure the mast is stored in the shade.
Totally disagree. Best thing that ever happened to my comp tip was leaving out in the sun behind by garage after it fell off while sailing. Good riddance. I had a lot of issues before it broke off. Multiple times the bolt rope slipped out of the plastic tracks... It is hard to drop a mast when the sail is still up.
