Re: mast
Yeah just sell it & get a Gaastra mast - if possible. The Gaastra bend is totally opposite from the Hotsails bend & it would not work very well IMHO.KC7777 wrote:Man I am learning a lot. I haven't actually ever done this (no collar on an extension), just thought it would save another 1- 2 cm from being cut off - if I did cut it. So now the cut would have to be approx. 15cm off of 430 instead of 13cm.eastside wrote:KC 7777. Didn't think it was a good idea to remove the collar on your extension? Splitting the mast being the reason I was told.
Maybe it's just easier if someone buys it as a 426! - Check the Buy Sell section.
Re: mast
I just happen to have two Gaastra RDM's (100 & 75%, with bags) for sale, pm me if interested. I have found the Gaastra masts actually quite good in terms of compatibility, they work quite well on my KA's and not bad on the older Sailworks I had. Too stiff for Ezzy's tho it seemed.gorge_r_and_d wrote:Yeah just sell it & get a Gaastra mast - if possible.
