Hello! As I am new to windsurfing it is pretty hard to rig the right sail to the appropriate wind. So far I do have four sails 5.9, 5.4, 4.7 and 4.2. In what wind conditions (bft?) should I rig each of them? Thanks you Ernest. http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6969#msg-6969 Fri, 24 May 2013 04:48:27 +0000 Phorum 5.2.19 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,7084#msg-7084 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,7084#msg-7084
As I'm looking for a new mast I still have worries about the right selection.

I have 2 North ICE sails (4.7 + 4.2) and a DUKE as well (5.4 and 5.9).

Luff of the sails:

5.9 = 456
5.4 = 440
4.7 = 411
4.2 = 397

What should I buy:

1.) buy a 370 rdm gold from + Platinum rdm Extender 40cm addtitional (both from North) + Mast Extension 45cm = 455

2.) buy a 400 and 430 rdm gold + Mast Extension 45cm

If the luff is 397 and you buy a 400 mast, is that an issue? What do you think about the Platinum Extender (http://www.surfladle.co.uk/products/product-detail.php?PID=1100)

Hope you could help me out!

See you,

Ernest]]> Ernest GENERAL DISCUSSION Sat, 03 Sep 2011 11:48:31 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6984#msg-6984 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6984#msg-6984 ernest GENERAL DISCUSSION Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:31:06 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6983#msg-6983 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6983#msg-6983 dgwave73 GENERAL DISCUSSION Thu, 25 Aug 2011 16:40:57 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6982#msg-6982 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6982#msg-6982
5.9 20 knots
5.4 20-25 knots
4.7 25-30 knots
4.2 30 knots up

this is only a guide, if you have a weather station near where you sail check how windy it was when you were out so you know for next time to rig bigger or smaller

hope this helps.... enjoy]]> davebosnia GENERAL DISCUSSION Thu, 25 Aug 2011 16:07:18 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6980#msg-6980 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6980#msg-6980 Ernest GENERAL DISCUSSION Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:21:39 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6972#msg-6972 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6972#msg-6972 WindSURFINg GENERAL DISCUSSION Wed, 24 Aug 2011 19:18:18 +0000 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6969#msg-6969 http://forums.boardseekermag.com/read.php?3,6969,6969#msg-6969
