Ok I have sorted the boom issue now I'm looking for a 45cm rdm extension to cover my sail range 4.7-5.7 would prefer a severne however they do t appear to do anything that long any recommendations
Chinook do carbon and alloy in that length. I use a 40cm extension with an 8.8 GPS race sail on RDM (HOT sails), they are plenty strong enough even though lots of people wont use RDM with long extension.
Good call
Anything above 22 cm is a risk, also carbon.
I have broken 2 rdm carbon extenders who were set at 20 cm.
If i were you i would buy the Severne wave granade carbon 35 cm and a 5-Oceans carbon rdm masttop extender (15 cm), or better an extra mast...

I think Chinook actually don't make an alu extension longer than 27cm for just that reason,
not right...I think Chinook actually don't make an alu extension longer than 27cm for just that reason,
aloha uwe
Why do you need such a long extension for those sized sails? I run the same range and haven't found anything over 30cm necessary
Aeron also make 46cm rdm extensions, both alu & carbon for sale on Seabreeze:

most skinny extensions come in two sizes 30 or 45 , just ask your local shop.
price only varies 10-15 $ between the two.
