Parsimonious!!!... I think that must go down as word of the day!!! 
I could do with some sort of trolley thing. I always drive the 200 yds to the beach as well, and probably would still do so if I had a
trolley as all my kit lives in/on my van anyway. But at the moment I carry my surf-ski across which is quite a task..... I managed it
today with only 3 rest stops!! A few more weeks practice and my shoulder and back muscel will be able to get it there without any
stops (at high tide at least).

Don't think I'll go into what I bought last year, but if your claiming your car as a 'Forces-of-Nature' expense then I'm gonna claim
the house we're building!!

I'd probably claim my car as I was offered a company Mondeo saloon, but turned it down in favour of buying my own estate!
OK....so I admit that there was the cash incentive and tax reduction to consider as well
Is there wind on the way??

Bought a 2002 NP 4.7m Search wave sail with a Tush 400 RDM mast. The mast is the same price as the NP CK35 that I broke last year but
it's 100% carbon and so much easier to throw around than a standard diameter mast. Will eventually transfer all wave masts to RDMs when
I can afford it

just FYI, Neil Prydes aren't actually designed for use on RDMs currently. I guess you've been lucky and hit a combo that works but it's
not really a recommended solution.
I rig my 5.3 zone on a 430 North Viper which is slightly rdm compared to a Pryde mast and it definitely doesn't work as well as my 4.7
or 4.2 which I rig on the correct pryde x7 mast.

I was under the impression that as long as you used the correct mast length with the correct IMCS that you where OK. I use a 430 RDM on
my 6.2 NR and 5.3 Zone and haven't noticed any problems so far, maybe I was lucky

late reply here, sorry dont check the forums often enough. you are correct in that length of the mast and imcs rating will mean it will
rig and be OK. But since the luff is designed with a specific mast diameter in mind and the diameter of both the luff and mast changes
over the length it will make a difference if the mast isnt exactly the same as the one intended for use.
I just know it makes a difference with my North Disco's, and my Pryde Zone definitely doesn't rig as well on the north rdm mast as my
smaller zones do on the standard pryde mast.

Due to enforced poverty through birth of baby, I have bought nothing! My friend bought me a block of wax 'cos he felt sorry for me!
