I used to rig a North 7.8m North Warp on a 460 mast. It worked fine.

Thanks Moby, is that a cammed sail? I had an old Spectra with 3 cams, 6.5. It seemed to go better than the new 6.9 NP excess.

A North Spectra? As in the 1990 ish age?

They do feel more powerful but have waaay less range than modern sails. In modern sails you use a much larger size than what we did back in the early 90's - 6.5 = more like 7.5 now.

If you are thinking about using the same mast it most likely won't work BTW.....

For non-cam, a KA Koyote 8.2 is made for a 460 mast.
