has anyone anyone! tried using a x7 mast on a rs racing sail by np? ok i've broken 2 masts quickly and can't afford to buy another one just for this one especially the x9..last week for the first time i tried it and sail looked a bit full maybe a bit more downhaul but the 3/4ths logo was a bit loose alreadyany suggestions maybe next i'll stick with the v8's

This has got to be the ultimate dumb equipment mistake.

How do you break a mast into 4 pieces and a blackberry at the same time!

Transporting the mast home by train I was coming up the escalator at Town Hall Station. Had the mast standing on it's end beside me. I was in a bit of a day dream when all of a sudden bang. Sounded like two gun shots, people ducked for cover.

The mast was got wedged between an upcoming ceiling and the escalator step, the escalator won. Mast bag disintegrated with a piece of mast poking out. I had an immediate pain in my leg, I looked down to find a large red welt from the impact, it was lucky I wasn't impaled. [}:)]
Got home running late for an appointment I grabbed the Blackberry out of my pocket, guess what, it was thrashed, it got the hit. The welt was the exact shape of the blackberry. Saved by the phone!
