So the dimensions on the sail - Boom 1.95 luff 5.15

Would a 145 - 1.95 boom work - say HPL ? or should I get slightly longer boom - 2.00 m .... ?

Would a 460 mast work with mast base close to full extension ?

TIA

Boom....if you are lightweight and occasionally use that sail, it's ok. Big strong dude, get a boom that covers 210.
Mast....same but 490

^^^ +1
they also used a very stuff mast so a 460 with tons of extension would likely not work.

I think Serfiac Red was spec'd at that size, while mid flex Green for smaller.
But we should assume you are not looking for high end performance.

I have a Serfiac gold with tip extension . It was a 2 piece , but now a 1 piece from corrosion. I have attempted to separate recently . Syringing vinegar at join. Penetrating oil . I never used with that sail though. The Serfiac is in Brampton . The sail is in PEI.

hi Lee,

Have you ever ordered from 2-rad.com in Montreal ? Lots of 5 star google reviews . But several 1 star reviews of concern .

No, I'm not looking for top end performance. Fun and exercise are the top priorities. And a zen , calm satisfaction post session : )

Got a handful of sails, 2 boards, 3 weeding, and a wetsuit, at different times over the past 6 years from 2 Rad. To SF Bay.
Fast, courteous, good weekday communication, fair prices. Oh, and my 9'6" SUP.
