Has anybody had any experience with the above set up? Looks like a great concept if it works.

Wow, that is a great idea.

Be interested to see how the 5 piece mast holds up.

It's possible now ,I had a 9" SUP made by sunova .it has two carbon rod inserts with 4 stainless bolts .they call it a travel board ... They are just starting to make windsurfing boards ...it does add weight to the board ..

Remember the 5 piece NP mast? Masterpiece engineering but 5 piece meant FIVE ferrules to keep together and sand free.

fantastic idea. its a shame some brands can only rig 2 sails per mast.

ive not used the rrd rig but i notice in the video the leach of the sail flaps. is that a design issue?

Leech flap is usually too much downhaul or too light a rider in the wind conditions.
More wind or heavier rider should bend the mast more, tightening the leech.
Usually and should.
