Hi all,

I am a weekend windsurfer down at anglesea ( Great ocean road)
Last your I got new second hand sail via this website ( sail unfortunately too little to justify a new one). However I am having some challenges rigging it rightly. As you can see in the picture the battens don't fully come around the mast- and I have pulled the downhaul hard. Works fine for other sails when I pull it that hard.

So is it the mast and the fact that it won't bend enough? This is the issue I suspect.

Details are:
Sail: Severne Blade 5.0 luff 416 boom 163
Mast: North sail, SDM, 400 cm ICMS 19 bCC

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

Have a look at this link for mast curveswww.unifiber.net/masts-selector

I have the same year model blade as that one in a 4.7 and 4.2 and they rig very nice on my 400 north platinum rdm but have a blade 5.3 of a couple of years earlier and it rigs like that one in picture
