Hi guys, I'm new here.. I have a Blokart with 2,3 & 4m blokart sails. In lite winds I've been utalising a 5.75m Tushingham storm windsurf sail which works OK.

My question is... Is there any point in parting with my hard earned cash & getting a Blokart 5.5m, will it be that much better than my 5.75 Tushingham?

I'm not racing at the moment so the one make thing is not an issue.

Hope someone can enlighten me!

Thanks

Jonboy

Lordy. I've been nanny'd by the powers that be. Bet the people of that North Lincolnshire city are chuffed that they've been censored

Just a thought!! Not really up on the science of sails but why is a blowy mast straight in comparison to a windsurf mast's curvyness

Because Paul Beckett (designer of the BK) spent a lot of time and effort with the mast manufacturers to get what he wanted to achieve, and they eventually came up with the mast he used. It's called design and evolution, rather than just grabbing what comes to hand. He always had mass production in mind and wanted consistency which he could keep a handle on.

I am from the glorious hole that is S****horpe, I never knew about that sail place....I shall have to go and check it out!
