We appreciate you using our SE's! Hard for me to accurately say what the right bend is for your older Gaastra. I know over the last few years Gaastra has been using stiffer tipped masts (like Maui Sails, Severe, and Sailworks), but their older sails most likely used standard bends. Our RDM series uses a standard bend.Regarding your quiver, I think the jump from 5.5 to 7.0 is a very smart way to scale things. I'd suggest you look at either a 7.0 Freeride model, or perhaps a 6.9 Wave sail depending upon your local conditions.Perhaps there is a local shop you could work with regarding the mast? It would be great if you could rig up the 7.0 Gaastra and have a look how it sets up on our 460.Regards, tim thanks for the message Dan. We appreciate you using our SE’s!

We are really tolerant with mast bends. Most mast on the market (Fiberspar, Powerex, North, Pryde) work great with our sails. The best thing to take into consideration is to use the right length mast, no matter your weight. We take the span of weight into account when suggesting our masts. thanks for the message John!

How important is the bend curve of a mast for a ezzy sail? Because on the ezzy website they say that you need a mast with a tip curve between 75% and 79% and a base curve between 62% to 65%. That is quit a big range. And how does the weight of the rider influences the reaction of a mast? My weight is 87kg. Do I need a other mast than someone who weights 70 kg when using the same sail?  Hello, i have got a ezzy wave 5.2m en 4.7m. How important is the bend curve of a mast for a ezzy sail?

This helps to keep water and silt/sand from entering the joint and filling the mast bottom, used in concert with plugs can help keep the mast bottom free of water and silt. The electrical tape is quick and easy to apy and remove, you can even leave it stuck to the mast to use the next time. It also leaves no resifue I wanted to add that I have used electrical tape to seal the seam between the top and bottom mast.
