Why I sold hot sails maui GPX

it's been a while since my last review about hot sails maui GPX sail, now I've sold my GPX 7.5 and I'd like to explain what made me sell it.  At the time of purchase I was expecting this sail to have more bottom end than it provided. Problem with crossover sails over 6.5m is that they could easily end up as not good at anything, my current thinking is that anything over 6.5m should have loads of bottom end and should be light, that is if you are a recreational windsurfing like me. Fulll X ply on this is not necessary at this size as you wouldn't be bashing it in waves or rough conditions. So really I would only recommend GPX unto say 6.5 max and after that you are better off with freerace sail either with or without cams.  Now I've got a 7.5 severne turbo.  Thinking behind this purchase was at this size as teh largest sail in my quiver what I'm really after is bottom end on a day where this sail could make the difference between sitting on beach and going out.  It was a tough decision between severne NCX 7.5 and Turbo , and finally arrived at the decision based on the following two criteria:
a. Turbo better bottom end
b. 2014 Turbo 7.5 still rigs on a 430 mast so I don't have to invest in another piece of equipment

Now I've sold both GPS and GPX , along with teh hot rod big wave mast, i'm no longer a hot sails user.  Was it a mistake to go with hot sails in teh first place? Yes, it is if you are in Australia , whilst hot sails have quality products, second hand market in Australia is so poor and you are stuck with skinny masts of bigger sizes where others ails do not fit in.  This is not a problem if you are in US. Now i'm with severne, I find it so easy to get hold of cheap second hand sails and accessories.

I will kepp you updated on how I go with severne turbo in my next post
