Nose damage (and how to reduce it with little or no cost)
  • With the advent of shorter and more fragile boards, most nose damage is now caused by the mast hitting the board, not the boom.

  • Your mast will also suffer invisible impact damage with this type of incident, then at a later date it could well break for no apparent reason.

 

How to avoid nose damage
 
  • A few years ago we all had a “Mast-foot Protector” but they went out of fashion because most sails now have built in padding at the foot.
  • Most of us have an old mast foot protector knocking around somewhere. Now you can re-name these to “Nose Protectors”.

       

Method

  • Turn the Mast-foot Protector up side down
  • Now call it a "Nose Protector"
  • Secure the Velcro strap around the mast between the boom and the bottom of the boom cut out on the sail.
  • Snap the plastic clip around the luff/mast.
  • Now you have probably the best nose and mast protector available (fashion permitting)
  • If you haven’t got an old mast foot protector knocking around, we can supply a 370mm double ring one from Maui Magic for £15.00         
    370mm two ring mast/board pad £15
    520mm three ring mast/board pad £20



Nose Protector 390: Mast/Boom Pad

  • A full 380mm in height.

  • Impact absorbing heavy duty padding on the leading edge

  • Protects impacts on your board from mast and boom.

  • Easy and rapid adjustment.
