Hey Everybody!Finally I have an opportunity to buy a Point-7 AC-K 2015 (size 7.2), waited for this for a very long time. My only problem would be that due to my financial status I can't afford to have a Point-7 mast, and there are no used ones currently on the market. But fortunately I can order unifiber masts with a much better price. My question would be: what do you suggest, with which type of mast should I use this sail to get 100% performance? I know Unifiber Mast selector (and it said up to 430 cm it should be hard top), but I'm curious about your personal experiences or any other opinions to be sure that my sail will work correctly.Thank you for the replies!Dudi

Point 7 rig really well on powerex, can't comment on Unifiber, be cautious though as their chart isn't always spot on.

For example they say a Gun mast would do the job, and it clearly doesn't !!

7.2 needs lots of of downhaul to work correctly, it's a power beast.

Thank you for the quick reply! If it works with Powerex, constant curve should be a good choice (because of 64-76 constraction).

Any other experience with unifiber masts?

I have used unifiber masts hard top with Maui sails they worked well but we're not as good as a Maui mast . A bit to much twist at the top of the sail.
I have point 7 formula masts they are unreal the outer coating stops any cam wear
You need to see if specs suit for what ever you choose but normally the correct brand is best
