Reflex 4

mcross19 · 7th December 2012, 03:20 AM

Hi team, I have been told that the delivery of my Reflex 4 10.7 is only a short time away and have just seen that Severne have updated the specifications of this sail on their website. To my horror I have seen that boom length is 266 (longer than last year) and recomended mast is 550, no compatible mast?

I only have a 260 enigma boom and 530 enigma mast so it looks like I will have to buy a longer boom which isn't the end of the world but was hoping to use my old one to keep expense down.

Does anyone know if I could get away with using the 530 for now at least, I know the IMCS is 32 or would it really affect performance?

Last resort is to see is someone wants to swap a reflex 4 for a reflex 3?????

The Reflex 3 is/was also rigged on a 550 mast, so I don't think it has changed much.

Krister you are correct but the 530 was offered as a compatible mast but not with the 4!

You can always test sails on different mast to get a softer or stiffer sail. The Reflex III 10.7 was particularly stiff on a 550 mast, don't know if that has change or not for next year.

It's only 32 extension, I run my R2 7m on 34 extension. I wouldn't worry about it, it will be fine.

Thanks guys but I wasn't really worried about using an extension on a biggish setting more worried about affecting the performance of the sail but using a softer mast than recommended after all I have bought it for early planning.

Interesting to get a response from the team who have used this sail, Remi, Sean, anyone???

Hi All,

Correct that the new Reflex IV 10.7 can use the 530 + Extender but the favourite is the 550.

All the best
