Used 2011 North Platinum Mast 400 RDM 2

The new white coating made of 100% abrasion-resistant polyamide protects the carbon surface against mechanical impact, and increases fracture resistance by approx. 20%!
The ultimate needle mast. Thanks to its geometry with a larger top diameter, the PLATINUM RDM is even more dynamic than its predecessor. As a result, the rig benefits not only from the aerodynamic advantages of the smaller diameter but also from the greater flexing power of the needle shape.
Compatible with these sail brands: Aerotech / Ezzy / Goya / Hot Sails / KA Sails Loft Sails / Sail Works / Simmer / XO Sails
Non Compatible Brands: Gaastra / Maui Sails / Naish Sails / Severne/ Tushingham / Neil Pryde

Recommended skill level

The industry standard IMCS mast check method meanwhile is over 30 years old. The bend curve families Flex Top, Hard Top and Constant Curve are set too wide and unprecise for modern performance sails. A so-called Constant Curve mast which almost corresponds to a hard top mast, has nothing to do with a constant curve mast, which is at the border to a flex top mast. Through the introduction of a new type of hydraulic mast measurement system with digital control technology (combined bend curve and crash check) now it’s possible to adjust the bend curve over the whole length and find ways to improve the breaking strength. Ongoing tests thus guarantee a reliable quality control.

Thanks to our new mast measuring and our refinded IMCS system, we were able to analyze the masts of all other brands. This allows us to say exactly how good NorthSails masts work with other brand sails or which masts from other manufacturers are compatible with NorthSails:

• NorthSails compatible masts / sails: Aerotech / Ezzy / Goya / Hot Sails / KA Sails Loft Sails / Sail Works / Simmer / XO Sails
• NorthSails partly compatible masts / sails (at about 30-40% performance loss): Gun Sails / Point 7
• NorthSails incompatible masts / sails: Hard Top: Gaastra / Maui Sails / Naish Sails / Severne Flextop: Insert Tushingham / Neil Pryde

The importance of the mast is almost always extremely underestimated. In fact the mast is the engine of each rig. Or in other words, a Ferrari chassis with a beetle engine will never become really fast!
