i have a x5 boom and a c30 460 mast can i use a neil pryde zen 6.7 on this rig or what sail 6.7 approx can i use just getting back into it. I have diablo 7.9 but to big and wide need crossover or similar cut

All of the Pryde Zen sails are designed to go on a 430, but since the extension for the 6.7 is 30cm it might work. I'll get my 6.7 Zen out tomoz and rig it on my 460 and see what it looks like and I'll let you know. I've not tried it in the past as I run the 6.7 on a 430 RDM and my 460 is a SDM.

Cheers...Jason.

Try using punctuation and grammar. Then someone might be able to make sense of your rambling and answer what I think is a question.

no he does not know me but he is a dick get a life idiot

Bertie that was ****ing rude. For your info, a few people I sail with are too shy to come on this forum because their writing skills aren't too good and worry about being criticised like the above. Could you not do that dude ?

good on ya dude cairnsysteve for having a go, you can type any way you want my friend, you have my permission, this site is about windsurfing, not punctuation.. i have mates too, who are too chicken to type on this forum, after telling em about the amount of guys, who pick on my grammer.. that was nasty Bertie..

Well you PMs are easy to understand NOT. I needn't post the other one.

I was trying to help but your post didnt make sense.

THEN you changed your post and it now makes sense. You even put some full stops in!

What size boom is the X5, they came in many sizes from min 135cm to about 250ish cm. This usually helps when selecting a sail while trying to avoid the purchase of another boom.

But your quoting abilitys still fail

Unless you speak perfect Queen's English,have perfect grammer and spelling and hang out at the sailing club in your smoking jacket sipping fine wine,, you cannot be a windsurfer.

Can we have an apostrophy in Queen's please.

Queen's English belongs to the Queen so needs an apostrophy.

Queens means more than one queen.

Hang on, your apostrophy looks to have fallen down beside your comma.

Do many kiters have dropping apostrophy syndrome ?

I just looked up the specs for the Zen 6.7. It's not straightforward is it.-
luff 460, boom 204.
recommended mast 430 and designed to use a 160 boom.

As far as the boom is concerned I think it implies a minimum 160 boom so yours will be ok.

As far as the mast is concerned if its designed for a NP 430 then when rigged on a NP 460 you would expect it to be too full in the bottom and a bit reluctant to flex off in the gusts. You should be able to pull the sail flatter with outhaul so it looks ok and it will probably feel ok but I really don't know. You'd probably have to over down haul it to make it feel comfortable.

yer what Notwal said.
Hammer, nail, head.

But will still rig pretty good on a np460.

cheers to all, I picked up a 430 and changed extension as mine was only 28 (picked up new 34 np). Appreciate all the help everyone has given, yes you to Bertie. This is why I got back into windsurfing not just for the sport but the people so thanks again to all!

I'm always up for helping people as my mates know.
The big support crew in windsurfing pisses all over the crews in the other sports/hobbies I participate in.
Welcome to the fold and keep those questions coming!

You wouldn't own a Moto Guzzi motorcycle too would you? Now that's a small world wide community, if you need help just about every owner on the planet falls over wanting to help you fix it. It's all good. Good to see this forum is the same, there's no such thing as a dumb question.

OOOH I had a Guzzi Lemans 'til my wrists started to ache (old age) and now I have a Cagiva Navigator, funny, sailboards and biking seem to mix as a lot of my mates do both.

What's it with Cagiva's, 2 in a row?! Had a LM5 once, LM's are sweet things, and so are the big chooky Navigators, nice donk. Mito's are great little screamers too. It's the buzz of being out in any weather at speed on bikes and sailboards that puts a smile on my dial maybe why you and your mates like 'em too. Holding open the LeMans 40mm Dellorto throttles is akin to hanging on to your boom without a harness at 25+knots! You need forearms like Popeye and a death-grip to have fun! It's all a buzz and the pain worth it. I've got a 30 year old modded SP, it was made the year I started windsurfing! And my slalom board is near 20 years old, which is how long it took me to get back into this sport!
