Yep Ive got 3,... 4.5, 5.3 and 5.7 there nice! They all fit beautiful on a 400 rdm. All i need in my quiver because they have such a broad wind range. Got mine through Pelican point

ur right Mr ninja i did not pay full retail. Dont think there is anyone in the industry that does?? The price is irrelevant... Troppo asked Howd they go? So i told him Troppo next time you drive by I will roll one out for you and you can decide for yourself.

Cheers Justin

The luff lenght on the 5.7 is 431cm so all you need is a 45cm extension. Aeron and chinook do one that does conventional masts as well as skinnys, just make sure you get one with pin that goes right through the ext and not the one with the two locating pins. If you can afford the $ I highly recommend a skinny. You could also get a dedicated skinny ext that goes pass 31cm www.severne.com/ Um go to severne.com if you like trees.. Go to www.severnesails.com if you want to look at sails

I have done a fair amount of reading of reviews for the S1 as I intend to get a quiver as well. From what I read they are a very light handling and more manevourable stlye of sail for lighter sailors rather than locked in power sail for blasting. They do rate very well in UK mags however the Naish Session also scored very highly.

talking of sinny mast i have a north needle which i rate, basiclly its a skiny with a standard base bit on it which quickly tapers out before it hits the boom pocket. saves some of the skinny ext probs but has all the other advantages of a skinny and isn't to expensive either.
