    My boat came with a hit mast with numbers back 85 107 78 490
    Side 76 118 111 380
    I weigh 102kg in my budgie’s .The question is , is this mast compatible with my weight?
    The sail it came with is a North Xi-1. Dose anybody have much experience of setting this sail up? Any advice other than what is on the North website.
    Thank you
    Steven

    Hi All, Can someone confirm which weight is used by Norths to measure mast bend please?
    Several articles contradict each other. for example our tuning guide states North use 10kg and WB use 12kg yet some North guides state 12kg?.

    Does anyone have knowledge of what would be good numbers for 80kg GG master.
    Cheers
    Barney
