Hi

The time is fast approaching to upgrade my beloved 2006 6.2m NP Search. It has had more panel replacements than a stock car (kudos to Jesper who does such a great job). But I can see the mast pocket is now getting to it. ;(

The two things I like about it are its power and lightness (4.2 kg). It rigs perfect on my 430 Ezzy RDM, even though that is a constant curve, and the NP's were set up for soft tops - it has worked perfectly in the 15-20kn where I use it.

So the question is, could I rig a 2014 Blade on the Ezzy (well, I know I could, but should I)? The Ezzy would be a bit softer in the tip as compared to the Severne RDM - which tends into the hard tip zone - how would that affect performance? Could I adjust with a bit less downhaul?

Any advice appreciated (never used Severne sails before).

Cheers

One of the local guys here rigs his Blades on Ezzy masts and it seems to work OK, I occasionally rig my 6.3 S1 on a Naish mast which I think is close to constant curve.
If you had a top section from a 460 you could try that....

OK thanks.

Mix and match is an interesting option, I hadn't thought of that...
