Right, I looked for the wrong one.
But still half the allowed windload

Why should they do so?
They claim  a wind area capacity of 35 sq. ft. For the Orion The Optibeam
just have 8 sq.ft.
Is that just a marketing figure?

    I think they're going to discourage you from  pinning the mast, either
from a warranty viewpoint or potential damage from  it. OTOH it might work
just fine.
