The mast base, or mast foot is the piece that attaches to the board (and attaches the sail to the board). Most boards today have the same style of mast track Which may be shorter or longer depending on the size and type of board: This requires a standard type of base that attaches with a brass nut that fits into the track in the board. The bendy joint of the mast foot is what makes a windsurfer different than a sail boat, and there are a couple of different kinds. A mechanical joint is the easiest to bend over, so works great for beginners who often have big wide boards that are ..read more
