Hey Roger,
if you really want to spend all of that money on masts to increase the range of one sail then have at it because they're is nothing I'm gona be able to say to change your mind set on that. Let me remind you here that we're talking about freestyle sails here. Freestyle sails right now for the most part are designed with idea of wining competitions. To do this they need to be able to power the board and get it planing asap. Have you seen what the pros are using currently at light wind comps? The wind reports from Podersdorf where a supposed 12 knot average and those guys were on 5.7-5.4 and stuff. Thats ridiculous! Granted they're pros, but its possible. I was out the other day pumping onto a plane in 10-11 knot gusts with my 6.4 and 99 flare.

There will be maybe a few days until Severne riders answer this post...they may be in the Severne meeting 2008.

Hope they come on this...would be good to hear from them. I also like freestyle and would like to start having fun sooner.
