Features
- Reduced diameter mast with high wall thickness for durability
- Construction Process: Filament Winding
- Carbon content: 30%
- For those looking for a price-point, performance mast that has great compatibility with all sails, in all conditions
The NeilPryde RDM masts are compatible in curve and flex with NeilPryde SDM masts, it is the choice of the rider which one to use: Choose an RDM mast for a softer, more forgiving feel and durability and an SDM mast for a faster response and more direct feel.
The NeilPryde mast program is based on the Matrix System which is designed to assure every NeilPryde sail will perform to its highest potential when used with the specified NeilPryde mast.
The Matrix System is based around 3 performance levels; X3, X6 and X9. Higher performance level masts will have higher carbon content as well as use higher modulus carbon fibers. This will reduce the weight of the mast as well as significantly increase reflex speed, which both result in higher performance. So, the logic behind The NeilPryde matrix system is that you can always choose a level of performance regardless which NeilPryde sail you have and be sure that mast/sail fit will be optimized.
We are using "Progressive flex" curve; our shorter masts are closer to "flex-top" curve while longer masts are close to "constant-curve"; this is why we call it "Progressive flex".
The distance from the mast bottom to the boom is relatively constant between allmast lengths. Short masts are supported by the boom head at a relatively much higher point than long masts; typically the boom mounting point on a 400cm mast is at 30% of the total length while this point on a 530cm mast will be at 22%.
