So what about the other way round? I need to buy a new 430 but my 6.7 Hornet is 2013. Will new mast work with old sail?

Orange Whip said..
I bought one of those today and got the same discount, only problem is if the invoice is correct they've sent me a 490 instead of a 430. Maybe I'll get extra discount for that stuff up.

I know of that one , 95% ? . I think it's a 490 , better check.
Ive got a month to wait

Orange Whip said..




Yep SPX95. I usually email when I buy stuff but phoned today and they've stuffed up the size. Is that a 4 week month or a 5 week month

OW, where are you buying from? What Shop?

BSN101 said..
Im using FX100 & FLX100 masts with my 2017 Hellcats & 2016 Hornets. No problems and they are cheaper than the SPX masts. Warning tho, the FX100s are really slippery tp drop with wet hands when taking them out of the sails or no issues,

Orange Whip said..




Couldn't see any FX and FLX available when I was looking but got a good deal on the SPX.

I would have thought your mate would have converted you to NCX's by now

Nah. I will always try to be slightly different. I'd love to try summer boards and look at SailLoft sails but they are rare in au.
But really happy with NP Hornets. Some v8s next month.

Not that it seems to be a performance issue , and I love the sail , but it does give me the shi.ts , that the cams don't completly snap around all the way immediately . They kind of hang there 95 % of the way. Sometimes they pop a few seconds into the run and sometimes not at all. If I'm blasting along and push a back off I can get them to pop but that's a bit ****,ty . I can't tell the difference in performance if they have poped or not. I have four different sizes and there all the same. All proper masts . From mild to wild downhaul doesn't seem to make any difference.
I love the simplicity of the new cams apposed to the over complex , fragile but smooth older version .
Am i alone , any advice.

I had the NP Hornets which are currently the V8's and I presently utilize full NP race sails. They all have a similar issue when pivoting, and one pump generally gets them completely round for me. I utilize 100% carbon race poles (NP) and I can feel it on the off chance that they're not completely around on the grounds that I don't quicken appropriately.

that was SIMMER boards.
Picked up an RSX convert 7.0. I will have to use it a bit to work out whether i like it.
I do like the V8s and cant wait to get the 7.7 on the water. Hopefully it works with my mast, the RSX did.

Interesting thread. The lower cam of my 9.4 V8 isn't rotating all the way either. Though, I rig it on the recommended SPX95. Next time i rig it, I'll certainly apply a generous amount of Teflon paste, silicone, Vaseline, fish oil and spit. In the meantime I just manfully punch the cam in place after each jibe to let him know who's the boss.
...Should have bought an easy-Ezzy.

I find theV8 awesome on the spx95 masts .
Do you rig the crease method or by the numbers .? Numbers can be all over the place . I had a Hellcat and it was 14 cm off.
Save your spit for other things .
When I rig I go at least halfway to two thirds . The cams pop earlier than any other cam sail I have used .
ps: I haven't yet tried a new spx on my 9.4 but work great on 6.2 , 7.2 , 8.2
waiting for a 520
