Hi all,

What is the biggest sail you have "legally" rigged onto a 460 mast?

And "illegally"?

Would rather not get a bigger mast at the moment... already need a new 7.5m sail

Cheers,

K

My 2006 North Warp 7.8m rigs on a 460 mast with 40cms of extension.

Severne seems to be a winner.

And the 8.5 fits on a 220 boom too!!!

SIZE LUFF BOOM BATTENS WEIGHT HEAD RECOMMENDED MAST COMPATIBLE MAST PRODUCT CODE
8.5 494 220 6 4.80 FIXED WHITE LINE 460 490/29 SES11CVT85

And yet I am blasphemously rigging a brand new Koncept 6.6 on an antique Fibrespar Reflex 3200 from the Stone Age and going very fast on it.

Kdog, What is your 460 mast? Will have a bearing on what brand sail you buy I would think, compatible mast bends and that old can of worms!!!

Niel Pryde sail on SailWorks mast ?
thought one was flex top and constant curve the other
also thought using these carbon extensions put certain parts of the mast at the "wrong places" - example: boom apparently goes on a re-enforced area of mast
for me it sounds like these long carbon extensions create "hard bottoms"
curve has to be impacted and thus affect sail fit AND performance

my dilemma is the opposite: what is smallest sail that will fit on a CC 490 mast ?
so far SW has won with their Retro line - 7.0 and 7.5 go on 490 well
also Gaastra 2010 Matrix 7.5

may the wind gods be with you all

K-Dog - isn't it a GT mast? 70% carbon or something?

an older NP V8 8.5m on a old North 460cm with a 50cm Prolimit mast extension
so I get 510cm mast , i think the sail wanted 512 luff

Just a thought,
your mast is probably coming in 2 parts.
how bad would it be to have a 3rd one added (like 1.5 m extra) ?
Any brand has tried that ?
I can hear all those fanatics of the perfect flex for the perfect sail

9m arrows with 45 extension and some vacuum cleaner tube modified on top - 508 luff
