Why have we never seen twin mast tracks side by side ?
Could this be a benefit choosing a side for wave riding , ( kinda making it asymmetric) ,or for speed sailing ?
You heard it here first

Mal Falkner had an off set track on a speed board, you could ask him how it went.

(He cut a slalom board in half down one side of the track, stuck the other half back on after reducing it's width)

The new 2023 starboard phantoms, are bringing out a slanted mast track concept.

Had a Bombora proto wave board in the mid 80's that had twin mast tracks. Also had 2 rear fin boxes so you could set up as assy on either tack.

Had a "monday" board with a mast rail plopped in slanted to the center-line..more or less the same thing with all options :))
not bad to be more railside in the bottom turn

Got a feeling that it might be ok on opposite side to feet, but just terrible when in the same side, so much so as not be worth it. That said, only one way to find out
