Hi there!
I have 2012 Ka Koncept 6.6 and Ka 2012 430 RDM mast, i can't get the sail to rig right, it feel flat comparing to my Ka Koncept 7.5 or 8.5 i use a SDM mast with these sails and love them. I can't find KA SDM mast in the states, what other brand will work with 6.6
Thanks.
Dani

I use NP x9's on mine and they work well.

I tried that mast on my 2011 Koncept 6.6 as well and totally agree it is nowhere near good. I use a powerex speed and it rigs great. Any constant curve mast within the bend characteristics outlined on the KA site will work. North are also a good match.

Hi Dani

Like GH mentioned any constant curve SDM 430 mast 75-100% should do the job with the Koncept 6.6.

The RDM mast's will defiantly make the entry foil on the sail a bit flatter, compared to a SDM mast.

It's a personal choice. Some like the RDM feeling for the overall softer handling and others the SDM for their stability.

Cheers

Didn't realise the 2012 rigs on a 430 mast. The 2011 rigs on a 460 so the 430 I used was obviously a softer mast than the recommended plus been an RDM also changed the feel which is why in my case it was totally different to normal setup.
