Reply To: How much does your mast bend?

[Bob-Bourne]

Hi Bill,
I’ve got figures for my Neelespar Bluetop (standard spec, 3joints, including machined ‘top bit’).
10Kg Weight at top black band.

Luff Curves:-

Fore/aft :- 1/4 hight 73mm. 1/2 hight 101mm. 3/4 hight 83mm. Tip Deflection 500mm.

Sideways :- 1/4 hight 83mm. 1/2 hight 125mm. 3/4 hight 113mm. Tip Deflection 525mm.

Seems a good all round mast for a 90kg, unfit, old bloke(!)

Bob.
