Hello all,

I just destroyed my beloved Mauisails TR-4 6,6...

I mostly sail choppy waters with my Fanatic Falcon 95 2009 (61 wide) and also have a JP Slalom 69 (53 wide).

I use the JP with an 2016 KA 5,8 and really like this combo, achieved 34 knots (2sec) on really choppy waters without effort! Amazing sail, nice and light but still plenty power and stable!

I'm torn between a Koncept 6,6/7,0 and 7,1 Race to replace my old TR-4! Would like something slalom like in that size but don't want to get a heavy sail like the TR-4 again. The TR-4 is a great sail although a bit outdated.Since I'm just over 60 kg's and 1.80m I would like something manageable, the TR-4 was fine albeit a bit heavy.

One more thing I just purchased a KA 430 mast because it was on sale, figured the 7,1 Race would rig perfectly fine on the 430 and it might even be nice considering my weight/length. Am I right?

Whats you're opnion on this? Koncept 6,6/7,0 or Race 7,1?Thanks,

I would not recommend using the 7.1m race on the 430 mast. In my experience, it does not like that at all. It is much better on the 460 mast.

On the other hand, the 7m Koncept works perfectly on the 430 mast and is noticeably lighter to handle in the transitions, especially when over powered. The 7.1m Race has slightly more power and amazing stability when overpowered, but heavier and harder to handle in the Gybes.

I think you would like the Koncept more for what you have indicated.

Thanks a lot, Koncept it is!

One more thing though, 6,6 or 7,0?
