What do you think?
Does it work with a Slingshot PFI730 and Severne foilfreek 5.2?
Just need to enter the finbox on the right place as on the picture.
If you measure 41" from the center of the US tracks, where does that end up on the deck for the mast track?
The geometry is very compact but not unprecedented.
You'd have to check if the construction is robust enough for wind foiling. I.e is it full foam sandwich construction?. Wing foil boards typically have lighter construction.
My experience with boards that have the masts so close together is that they are very difficult to get going. "Squirrelly" or some other similar word. But once going at speed on the foil they are really fun.
Agree with the others that structural issues are your biggest enemy.
Good points John and Bull, probably rip out the sail mast track about the same time as the "wing" foil US tracks once the foil mast gets loaded up with side pressure from the sail.
I have a Tabou pocket air 97L which is a few cm shorter than the quoted 5'8" and it works strapless with my winging foil set up. However this board was constructed this way. So far so good. It is a bit squirrelly compared to my wizard 105 but does the job.

Looks like fun! So long as you don't care about ease of uphauling. I would not worry about the structure if you reasearch how to install a track properly. The bigger versions of that board have a windsurf mast track in them and I kinda fancy owing one.
The mast track position vs straps isn't that far off from my FoilX. But yes as utc mentioned, will be hard to uphaul. Very similar to compact geometry though that other custom board builders are doing.
It took me a while to get used to the shortened mast/front strap position but once you get it, doesn't seem to matter.

So, mast track is inserted
Now waiting for wind ????
looking forward to your report
