Not sure how it works but if a batch of masts were sub standard the only way they can prove this is if they break, can a sail company send back masts that haven't been used on the presumption that they are faulty? or do they just send them all out to the shops and replace them as they break?
The 2012 Enigma Mast Series has been developed in tandem with the REFLEX program. This is the highest performing standard mast built as a premium line with precision manufacture for race and freeride. Every mast will be electronically tested ensuring the bend curve and hand crafted quality meets the standard set by the Severne Hardware Division.
? Integrated UV resin technology
? Acute Angle Carbon Wrap
? Unidirectional High Quality Carbon Pre-preg with 25% extra elongation to the fibres
? Individually tested and certified by our craftsmen
? Matt finish for smooth rigging and de-rigging
What is tested? if the top and bottom fit together... Batch testing is going to quarantine a run before they are released to the public...but to state that they are actually individually tested and certified, something must be pretty wrong in the QA dept!http://www.severnesails.com/2012/products/mast.php#enigma
I agree swoosh 90days wouldnt be much good for my smaller sizes, im lucky to use my 400 3 times a year here in Qld

These shonky Italian factories eh........http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor-news/550000-ferrari-recalled-for-fire-risk-20100902-14o6v.html
There can't be much wind back there for this thread to be scratching it's way along.
Conspiracy theories aside, Sxxt happens. Having dealt with some of the mast problems myself, Severne did the right thing.
Have we heard any complaints from the 'victims'? I haven't.
My, the lagoon looks good at this time of day.. especially with a cold Boags.
Cheers.

NORTH has a 2 year warranty !!
Hey Magnus Italy also make the Fiat Panda lol. On the mast issue I had a RSR evo 1 which i ran on a 08 X6 for over 3 years with no issues and the second time i used it in a RSS mk 4 it broke. Then I became aware of others suffering the same fate and decided to get rid of the sail. Am now using Reflex 2s and 3s with the blueline and am very happy with performance. Just to add I thought the RSR evo I had was a brilliant sail and loved it, but find the reflex even better.
Anybody else had issues with using an x6 mast in a RSS MKiv?
I've just bought a new 430 x6 (not the latest x65) to use in a 7m mk iv and am feeling nervous about even trying it after reading this thread!! Also have a 400 x65 that I'm using in 6.2 mk iv and 5.5 mk iii.
has anyone had the problem with skinny mast, when the sleeve of the top section starts to crack length ways up the mast been having a few issues with some of my north masts, would cutting it back be alright??
dont cut it rap some glass around the out side it was probably caused from not being all the way together when rigging and put some tape on the join so when you rig you wont have that problem a lot of people have busted mast by that cause because we are all in a hurry 2 get out there !
I bought a new Neil Pryde H2 6.7 and Neil Pryde 4.3 mast which broke on my first outing, then the replacement broke on my first gybe with it on Narrabeen lake! Doesn't fill me with confidence and they both broke 200m over the join.
