It is tip flex -ish so maybe Neil Pryde and not much else...?

I have recently been demoing a few sails with Tushy Skinnies (100%) supposed to be CC heading towards Soft Top.
I was going to test & measure all my masts to be 100% sure as it's hard to get accurate info.

Severne seem to rig ok although they should be on full constant curve.
I believe Ezzy work on Tushy but haven't actually tried them yet.
Loft which are supposed to be CC seemed to rig really flat on the Tushy so had no bottom end but felt ok top end.
This didn't make much sense at all as the mast seemed too soft in the middle.

Note: these were all cam-free sail except for a Severne Unit.

It actually is a little more involved than saying a,b or c fits, as curves of both masts and the sails made for them, can change over different years, though you can generalize, and hope for the best.
SDM
Avanti was ok
Challenger was good
Ezzy ok
Hot ok
KA good
RRD good
Pryde Good, even though they say they're softer
Simmer good.

Tushingham…great!

RDM is just a little softer.

BUT…. Sometimes, masts that just shouldn't work, work very well!!!

^^ So Jez do you reckon RRD will work well on my NP RDM's...?

I thought RRD was pretty middle of the road CC ?

I have a 460 tushingham that I usually keep as a backup. So far it's fitted the Ka race and Np rss mk 6. It's now replaced the np fx100 that I use in the evo 8, sits better and appears to be slightly softer allowing the leech to fall away gradually.

RRD is a little to the stiffer side of Tushie, and Pryde is a little to the softer side, so, theoretically, there should be a more of a difference between the two, Mark.
