Point-7 F100 SDM Mast

The Point-7 F100 Sonic Reflex Mast is a truly foil dedicated mast that pushes the boundaries of your windfoil performance. The use of a regular mast for a foil sail can lead to compromises in performance, so Point-7 designed a mast exclusively for those who seek uncompromising excellence.

One of the key differences between a foil mast and a regular fin mast is their ability to handle chop. Unlike a regular fin mast, a foil mast is designed to glide smoothly over the water, enhancing the stability of the rig and helping to maintain balance while flying above the water's surface.

The cut and design of a foil sail differ significantly from a fin sail. Foil sails are designed to have no power on the backhand, and the mast needs to follow this specific characteristic to provide the sail with a broader range and enhanced performance in various wind conditions. Moreover, the luff lengths of foil sails also differ from slalom sails, requiring specific reinforcements that match the luff curve to optimize performance across the sail's different areas.

Compatibility is an essential factor to consider when using masts with different types of sails. If you use a foil mast with a fin sail, the profile will increase in the front, shifting the pressure point forward and reducing power on the backhand. This will make the sail feel stiffer, less reactive, and can lead to decreased stability and wind range capacity.

On the other hand, if you use a fin mast with a foil sail, the sail will work fine in less powered-up wind conditions. However, as the wind increases, the backhand power will intensify, leading to reduced foil stability and a smaller wind range even in milder conditions.

Therefore if you're passionate about foil windsurfing and crave top-notch performance without compromise, the Point-7 F100 Sonic Reflex Mast is the perfect companion for your foil sail. Its specialized design and attention to detail will enhance your windfoil experience and help you soar above the water with precision and ease.
