The Starboard Compact Rig was fun to develop! We do much of the development sailing on our knees to truly sense what a kid does in terms of size and leverage.
We worked with a fishing rod specialist to come up with a super light, strong and skinny mast for the smaller sizes. The mast sleeve was minimized to avoid any water caught there during uphauling. The bottom area of the sails are extra reinforced as this is where your knee might end up and where the tension is at the highest. The release clip at the mast base has the amazing cap power system, so anyone can attach and release the rig from the mast base.
