Goya Sails Custom
Masts are designed for the highest level of competition and for
the pure pleasure of simply riding. Goya RDM Custom Series Masts
are the perfect match for your Goya sails and boards, and they are
guaranteed to deliver maximum performance and durability.
Our top of the
line quality has been achieved by combining the best materials and
construction, and by developing an advanced mast shape, engineered
for superior reflex and strength.
Construction
process: Wrapping system guarantees a consistent bend in all our
masts.
Material: Full
pre-preg carbon/fiber construction.
Constant joint
bend: The shoulder and ferrule are fused together during the construction
of the base, reducing weight and maintaining a continuous mast bend
throughout the joint.
Carbon content:
75%
Keeping it simple,
custom performance with no compromises.
All mast tops
and bases are interchangeable, allowing riders to custom tune their
sails and achieve their preferred bending curve percentages. For
example, you might feel that a 5.3 sail is too soft and lacking
in power on a 400 mast, and that it is also too stiff and powerful
on a 430. With the Goya RDM Series you can get the best of both
masts by using the stiffer bottom section from our 430 mast, to
give stability in the power zone around the boom area, in combination
with the top section from our 400 mast, to add lightness and a softer
feel.
Why use RDM "skinny"
masts?
High Durability/Low
Weight: It is very simple. A reduced diameter paired with increased
wall thickness allows us to make our masts resistant to breakage through
bending or impact, while at the same time making them lighter than traditional,
wide-diameter masts.
Bending Curves
& Reflex: Because we make the mast wall thicker on the bottom section
(the section that breaks most often), the bottom bend is naturally more
rigid, giving our masts the extra stability always needed at the boom
area and keeping the power zone free of unnecessary wrinkles. Our mast
top sections maintain a more traditional diameter, keeping the wall thickness
to a minimum. This translates into more reflex at the top part of your
sail, letting you ride closer to the wind.
Speed: It is
no secret that a thinner leading edge creates a faster profile. Goya RDM
masts have the same small diameter that has been used to break the world
speed sailing record. Our fin designs also utilize this "leading edge"
principle, giving us excellent results below the water as well.
