gday all
i have broken a north platinum mast right on the ferral ,just wondering if anyone else out there knows what make of mast riggs ok on north warps
2012 model,mainly 6.3 and 7mtr sails.cheers

This is from the website.

• NorthSails compatible masts / sails: Aerotech / Ezzy / Goya / Hot Sails / KA Sails Loft Sails / Sail Works / Simmer / XO Sails


• NorthSails partly compatible masts / sails (at about 30-40% performance loss): Gun Sails / Point 7


• NorthSails incompatible masts / sails:

Hard Top: Gaastra / Maui Sails / Naish Sails / Severne

Flextop: Insert Tushingham / Neil Pryde

NP X6 works fine.

According to TV ratings, some people think The Big Bang Theory is a good TV show.

The North Gold series are a couple of hundred grammes heavier.

On my 6.3m the 430cm worked better for rotation and topspeed than my old powerex 430cm but i felt i lost some bottomend.

Not sure about that shinny coating,my boom keeps dropping earlier than before.

Strange,

At a NS dealer meeting 2 years ago in Holland, Raoul from NS told us that the brand with the mast curve that was closest to that of NS was actually Gun! Maybe that has changed but is it a coincidence that both P7 and Gun are the cheapest mentioned brands, so more competition price-wise? Of course they also have a list with incompatible brands, but they also know that us surfers are more aware of what is what these days so they have to. My 2 cents.

How about a North mast?

If you have just broken a North mast & it's not under warranty you may not want to go back for more of the same.

I believe he may be looking for an alternative for some reason.
Something about "once bitten" maybe

Occasionally people do lose faith in a product but it's amazing how many don't

All gear breaks regardless of manufacturer

Agreed.
What I am saying is the guy is looking for an alternative to North, simple as that

All gear has the POTENTIAL to break. Not all gear breaks.

Agree Paul I thought it was evident oldskool was looking for an alternative with out bluntly saying i do not want another north mast, nothing wrong with looking at options for your sails.

Of course going and buying a nice brand new north would be ideal!

How's the new np mast dunk? That was off my bro!

I wish I could tell you chris but we are missing the vital test ingredient....wind.

Np mast in hot sails are meant work well and the way I am on gear it does not hurt to have a spare.
