Then again, the last six years have been FULL of activity = NO excuses man !! Fiberspar was supposed to be compatible with the earlier MS sails and MauiSails switched to CC/constant curve, which means Fiberspar is a NO CANDU for a 2016 :-( Need a CC mast !!joe windsurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06896112196222846109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458301809937624343.post-13766993101328666892021-10-11T18:22:17.840-04:002021-10-11T18:22:17.840-04:00Caution short windsurfers!

I even raised my seat harness. Also because of that boom cutout at the clew, the center of effort was far above my head with virtually no balance at the bottom. Bottom line - this sail did not work out for me. I'm going back to my Ezzy's but would rather have a Sailworks BUT they are just not available to be bought. Will try to return but unfortunately even if the store does accept returns I'll lose due to the high shipping costs.

Even if I try , myself, to push the batten, over the mast, to the other side, it is almost impossible. <br />The sail is brand new, and the mast is within 2-3 years old.....so new-ish.cuegishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13304547048031722851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458301809937624343.post-49437163346354517902013-12-13T20:05:13.809-05:002013-12-13T20:05:13.809-05:00Hey joe.

Just wanting to comment to thank you for all the time you have obviously put into this website. <br /><br />The "Masts" section has saved me alot of pain and money as i almost bought the wrong one for my sails as it is 100% carbon and 40 euro cheaper than the 65% carbon i was going to buy.Shaunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458301809937624343.post-10160230722241239772011-04-25T09:09:33.924-04:002011-04-25T09:09:33.924-04:00Hey Redsurfbus:

Most people go out with 0.5m smaller than I do, yet I go out with 0.5-1m smaller than some of the top speed sailors at my spot (all about to change now I have a 7.6m Tushingham x15 4cam sail!)<br />I really like the article and have been thinking about doing some like this myself. If you dont mind I will put a few links from my site to yours from now on, saves duplicating stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11653627202291237918noreply@blogger.com
