Agree I pulled apart my demo today, I could not believe the press fit firmness of the mast to the fuse , there is minimal load on the M6 Bolts . Killer gear lads . The bar has been raised.
I like the deep mast to fuse connection and as bolts are at the edges of long base, carbon fibres are unimpeded by nut inserts and can run right through the mast. M6 are more than adequate. Well done with the mast!
Has anyone ever tried the 85cm mast with the 860R for wingfoiling? The 860R might be too big compared to the mast size, and the mast isn't super rigid.
M6 fuse connection make it a little inconvenience as you need M6+M8 tools instead of only M8 like some other brands did. But M6 helps reduce width of the fuse-mast connection which will reduce drag. Going taller but narrower is a good degign choice performance wise.
Good stuff, well explained, thanks.
