This is the finest taper of any Solo mast available, the super soft tip providing maximum gust repsonse. Below the hounds the older design of section has unique bend characteristics that ideally suit the Solo. Compared to ')modern') sections such as Cumulus, it is relatively softer sideways. It also starts to bend sideways at an earlier angle, just as the sailors becomes over powered. This version has a short, 180mm sleeve at deck that does not affect stiffness but supports the section from local loading at the mast gate. All D+ section is extruded from Seldén XPS aluminum. This unique material, alloyed specifically for Seldén, provides higher tensile strength than other grades. It was originally developed for the Solo where the higher UTS reduces the risk of spars taking a permanent bend. This version also features an extended gooseneck that effectively loosens the foot without using the outhaul and allows the boom to square off further when running. Note, the boom black band will need to be re-positioned.This mast is supplied complete and ready to race. A halyard lock can be fitted by one of our expert dealers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selden Dinghy Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52546968846674,"sku":"D14-C074-0716-02","price":1035.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/1325\/4738\/files\/index_1ff0fefb-711f-4ccb-8a17-f8c7a9b5ce83.png?v=1774603275","url":"https:\/\/dinghy.seldenmast.com\/products\/solo-complete-mast-d-section-needle-taper-extended-gooseneck","provider":"Seldén Dinghy Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
