That mast? From www.superyachttimes.com:
"Her 75 metre aluminium mast – the tallest aluminium mast in the world – has been designed and engineered by Perini Navi's Mast Division in accordance with the latest trends in mast weight optimisation.
The Perini Navi Mast Division developed a new design for masts and shrouds, using Finite Element Analysis, with the aim of building a lighter structure without any compromise in safety. In fact, the designs are approved by the Germanischer Lloyd: which is further verification of the project and a warranty for the Owners. In collaboration with the Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of Genoa, Perini Navi developed special sensors for tracking the load on shrouds and stays. Although this technology has been used aboard America's Cup Class yachts, this is the first use of the system aboard large cruising yachts."
