Hello,

Would a Tornado mainsail fly without major recutting on a F20 tube (of the correct length) or would differences in stiffness make this a horrible idea?

Kind regards

The dynamic properties would not fit, so shape as the mast bends under gusts would be probably be bad.

Initial setup might also be a problem, depending on location of hounds, spreaders, pre-bend etc.

Doing a re-cut on the main is what I would look at.

OK,
thanks,

would a recut likely be able to sort that out?
