Since the Tornado class is moving to the carbon spars, there are plenty of nearly new sails available for low prices. I am wondering if someone ever tried to raise a current squarehead Tornado sail (cut for aluminium mast) on a Nacra 6.0 mast? Surely the Nacra mast is very different in bending characteristic than the Tornado section, but just wondering if for fun sailing it still would work somehow as the mast lenght seems quite simular. Surely a boom has to be added to the boat.
Any comments/experiences are heartly welcomed!
Thanks
Dirk

Have Fun
