Masts and sails

[Flew]

I'm looking at good second hand sails to replace my old knackered ones. Will sails cut for say a superspars carbon mast work ok with an angel carbon mast? Any feedback appreciated.
Cheers

... better than sails cut for a metal mast, is the answer. 
Your mast is bendier than a superspar, but you should be able to make them work ok.  If in doubt call the sailmaker of the suit you are looking at, assuming they are from P&B or Alverbanks (Kevan Bloor in the NTOA book) you should be able to get a professional view and possibly a quote to alter the luff curve if they think it is necessary.

Thanks. I guess that for a stiffer mast the sails  may be cut a bit flatter than for a softer one? As my crew is only 5 stone, a flatter sail may be better anyway.
