Hi, I broke my 4m90 North mast (drop shape race 100% carbon) this afternoon. I used it with a 50 cm carbon X.tender to rig a 2005 10.20 Daytona sail. North Sails recommends this combination in the context of their minimum.mast concept. The wind was 10-12 knots, flat water conditions (I was riding a AHD 945 formula board). The mast broke when I was sailing (my weight is 68 kg). I am curious about other occurences of this type of incident (North mast broken with a 50 cm carbon X.tender). Rigging a 10.20 cm sail on a 4.90 cm mast might be imposing too much stress on the mast? Thanks for your comments and experience reports.
