Hi, what mast flex is Powerex? Would Powerex be suitable for a Maui Switch, acknowledging it is generally best practice to match mast & sail?

Don't quote me on it but I think the powerex is a constant curve and the Maui is a hard top

Almost all the Powerex SDM's I have tested were Constant Curve around 12%.

Most Maui sails need hard top but apparently some work well on CC. Worth a try.....

I use all Maui including Switch and as far as I'm concerned their big problem is the hard top mast.
Bloody horrible and seems to me that the sails all work much better on CC.
They also break on a regular basis for me.
Just broke the latest today.
Severnes work great in them, sail feels the same or better.
Maui always denied that their masts were hard top.
I've measured heaps of them and they are definitely hard top.
I see the latest Maui masts are finally CC.
They've admitted defeat at last.
