Bit green to sails/masts etc, any advice on best rdm mast to suit KA kaos wave sails?

Besides the KA brand one. i use Power X they are the correct curve etc.

Ezzy RDM is pretty much the same so should work. Strangely enough I have 2 of them for sale

I use an Ezzy 400 with my 2008 Kaos 4.2m. No problems. Rigs fine. Sails well.

Powerex 430 skinny with my 4.7, 5.2, and 5.7 Kaos works fine...

so we just bough a new mast for our skiff .. we only buy the carbon stick and add spreaders /fitting and al the rest .... we run on 28( stiffness and bend ..) then we get sails cut to work with the mast .. if my sails is 21 imcs .. ya reckon it would work on a 21imcs stick from a composites store ? what makes thies sailwork/nielpryd/naish mast so expensive and good .. we only paid 700 dollars for the carbon stick ( 6m long and 100% carbon ) ..??

I just paid $600 for a new NP mast so what makes your stick so good?

i mean y does a sailworks speedstick ( 5.5m /100% carbon) COST $ 1,426.00
DOUBLE THE COST OF MY NEW SKIFF MAST ......so y does a sailworks mast cost 700 dollas more than a carbon stick witch is longer and the same carbon content? how can that be ...?

Because I'll bet my left testicle that your skiff mast doesn't come with a pretty sticker at the base telling you how long it is and how much carbon it contains.

well, now you mention it. masts that come without stickers on them are cheaper. i htink it's called a manufacture error.
