I might be able to get a 460 Neil pryde mast for my sailworks cambered sail.Sailworks need a constant curve mast & Neil prydes are..( soft tops..? ). Would it work?

They claim to be CC but they're not. They are soft in the top and stiff in the bottom.

It might work with lots of outhaul but the chances are that the cams wont rotate properly.

Rig it and see.

Hi SBC,

Got a NP X6 mast and 2 NP V8's = a good combo. Works well.....

Been told that by those who use Sailworks that SW and NP is not an ideal mix.
Best to keep separated I think.

Apparently "relatively constant curve" whatever that means.

That soft top will make it too twisty also it could flog itself to pieces, I'd not buy it until it is tested

jump onto the Sailworks website. I think they have a bit of information on which masts work with their sails. I bought a sailworks wave sail as at the time i had a neil pryde wave mast. I lobbed them an email and got a reply from them the next day that they had tried the combo i was asking about and it was a good fit. from what i've read they're pretty honest about what works and what doesn't for their sails.
