Hi
Getting back into windsurfing after a long time. Got a rig from 2005-2006 with a NCX 8.0 on a 50% blue 490SDM mast, all in seemingly ok shape, and not a lot of hours use in total.
1) How will this compare to a -new- NCX with an ARC or APEX SDM? Real world differences?
2) If prioritising, which should I renew first for best upgrade, mast or sail?
3) Other brands masts considered equal or better used with Severne?
(I am aware that 2021 NCX 8.0 is 460, but the focus is 15yr old mast/sail vs new...)
Thanks!
Just got this after a conversation with SEVERNE...
From me:
"Hi Dieter
Thanks for getting back so soon. Just to clarify, can I also use my old 2006 mast with a 2021 sail? "
REPLY:
"Hello Torjus,
Bend curve wise this will be the same so you can use your older 2006 mast on our current sails, however if you are planning on buying a sails with Cambers we would advice you to our latest Apex shape mast which have improved cam rotation drastically.
All the best,
Dieter"
I don't know...

Well, it?s rather to be prepared if something should break, whether the other item is compatible with todays equipment. As well as, of course, expanding my quiver of 1...
Went on the water today, and saw while rigging that the old mast was ever so slightly bent. Probably spent too much time in the luff, back in the day.
Yours re the camber sails is noted!
