How much more challenging would it be to learn to dockstart with additional mast length?
Specifically, I’m learning on a 75cm Axis alum. But may an opportunity to buy an 83cm carbon mast.
Longer stiffer mast would be great for wing and I know stiffness would help pumping but does the extra length make pumping harder if I’m leaving from a relatively low dock? Thx!
Once you’re up and pumping I think you’d be okay, but I find launching from a low dock harder than say, knee high docks, even with a 75cm mast. I guess it’s what you’re used to though and you’d probably adjust, but also it’s good to make it as easy as possible!
