Sueboardcrazy : may I ask why the 75% Gorilla in your speedsails and not the 100% Red ?
I use a mix of Turbos, Overdrive and Motos in the 430 mast length range, I see Severne recommend Red for Turbos. My aim is better flattish water gps speeds and to get less tired so quick. My one session with the borrowed Red instead of my usual Gorilla with the Overdrive seemed to feel smoother in very gusty conditions. I am putting that down to the mast but could be wrong, hence this post.

I recently used a Severne Red (100%) instead of my usual Gorilla (75%) on my 7m twin cam.

it certainly felt more comfortable in gusty conditions, and the 0,4 kg difference slightly noticeable.

Going back to the 75% mast now seems like stepping backwards. Will I be disappointed if I now get the 90% Blue mast which is slightly less fragile than the Red to cams and sun ?

logic tells me to get the 90%, but life is short too.
Not too bothered about the price difference but sorting out broken kit where I am is a pain.

6,4 - 7 m are my pleasure sails with 430 mast on 67 Isonic and carbon boom. Flattish water.
Appreciate any experience.
