Any thoughts on the optimal mast length for downwind on a parawing in moderate wind speeds?
I favour longer mast lengths generally, but wondering if a 85-90cm mast creates noticeable extra drag when trying to get on foil...?

90 cm would probably be too long, most people will prefer 80-85 cm. I only have an 80 cm which is probably easier in most conditions for starting and downwinding, but I'm tempted to get an 85 cm for easier upwind on bigger days and more aggressive carves.
