Am about 70kg and was thinking of rigging an "07 6.5m Stealth on a 100% r.d.m. 400 with a 30cm tip-extension (instead of the recomended 430). It looks good dry rigged, and I like the idea of a bit of flex when a gust hits (also means only one mast for my 5.0, 5.5 and the 6.5 Stealths) What do you knowledgable ones think? Has anyone done something similar?

Second place GTC 2007/08 and nobody sponsoring you for a new 4.30 100 parrrcentages mast. The horror of it all, they (the shops over there) should hang heads in shame

And to answer your question, your fast enough as it is, no sails over 5m as a handicap penalty for top three teams [}:)]

I'm the team anchor....just trying to catch up with the rest of the team.
