Is a "SlicK Pod" or "Nano Pod almost as good as an intergrated mast or even better maybe?:-)
The integrated is the pinnacle of low drag for Foildrive, zero tape or cable above the pod to cause drag when you dip. Also, any mini pod with straps or similar wrapped around the front of the mast will also have more drag than an integrated mast.
But, integrated masts are expensive, their only drawback. Less drag costs.
Yes I know that but if you have a few masts then you can use a mini Pod of all of them & also I was wondering about the vibration thru the mast but on a mini pod you can isolate the vibration etc with a good dampening system etc, so good to hear any thoughts reviews?:-)
