Yes. My main mast is a North Sting 30% drop shape, which I've used for 8/9 years, it seems to work with most sails (except any designed specifically for rdm). I don't think they have the increased wall thickness of rdm masts.
I have an opportunity to buy a 430 XC55 and was hopeful that it would come to this. No cams on my 5 and 6 m sails, so I'll contact the guy. Hopefully hasn't sold it yet.
Some booms (like a maui sails) can't clamp tight enough and a rdm shim is too small to fit so you may have to make some modifications i.e. adding a rubber sheath around mast making it thicker where boom connects.
I use a Radz drop shape with a Severne overdrive and are having problems with the top cam wearing a groove into the mast because the rollers are too wide for the mast.I am looking to see if I can purchase a smaller cam.
Ok I know Ill get red thumbed for this & I know Ive been told before but senility has kicked in..again.. whats RDM stand for? ( regular diameter mast..? )
