Hi All,
I rigged my Severne S-1 in Squamish today after a few hours with a North Super Session and couldn't help but notice that it felt odd.
Some symptoms are: I couldn't go upwind as easily. My arms were tired because it didn't feel as stable and I had to adjust it all the time.
The sail was rigged to spec, but not on a Severne mast. Back when I bought it I checked that Severne RDM is close to constant curve and just went with that not knowing it could make such a radical difference. I used my Chinook 90% mast instead, which is a constant curve.
Has anybody tried using severne sails without the severne mast?
As a random though - perhaps somebody has a severne 400 mast I could try that sail with? Of course, if I break it, I'll buy new.
