for the poster with the theory that the longer NP masts become more constant curv, as a very general not rule but trend,
No not a general rule, it is fact. Robert Stroj says so and I think he would know.
You have left off the remainder of my post, instead cut and disected , you ignored the size .
No, the longer ones
are more constant curve and that is the end of the story.
"a very general not rule but trend" is a little confusing and if experienced folk need to clarify that, a noob might struggle with it...
Then, this thread pertains to whether a very old NP SDM will work with a modern North sail.
So talk of whether NP is
now constant curve in the longer (race) masts is not so relevant to the North. So the original question is not answered by your post. Then to throw some doubt on NP curves (as you did) may confuse others.
Thus I thought I'd make a simple statement to avoid confusion.
Now reading it for the 3rd time I think you may mean the longer ones
are more CC, but 460 is kinda the length where it changes, so they may or may not be CC?
