Question
Hi
Just bought North Volcano sail 6.3 (Not sure of age) Could you advise what size mast i need

cheers
Brian

Answer
Hey Brian,

There should be some information printed on the bottom of the sail. Should list boom, luff (mast size), and stiffness (MCS). I should use a constant curve but some of the really old Norths used a Flex Top mast. It seems like the Volcano was a wave sail from around the late '90s early 2000. Not positive though. If it's that age or newer it should be constant curve. All sails now are constant curve so getting a mast will just be finding something the correct length and stiffness.

Hope this helps.
Keep on sailing,
Windlover
