And the Cabrinha is a “conical” (non-parallel) socket.
Considering most foil brands have been through multiple generations of connections, it’s pretty optimistic that they would standardize across brands…
Here are all the possible connections:
- Board-to-baseplate (or tuttle doodad)
- Baseplate-to-mast
- Mast-to-bottom adapter/doodad
- doodad(or mast)-to-fuse
- fuse-to-FrontWing
- FrontFuse-to-RearFuse
- Fuse-to-stab
Did I miss any?
So all manufacturers have #1?
All aluminum masts, but no carbon masts, have #2?
Cedrus, Axis aluminum, etc have #3?
Most (but not Armstrong), have #4?
Most, but not AK, have #5?
Gong, but not most, have #6?
Most, but not Gong, have #7?
No manufacturers (I hope) have ALL 7?
It seems like you’d need a minimum of 3 connections to allow for transport?
I’m going to add a tab to this spreadsheet for connection types, so we can attempt to track them all:
Looks like Lift is releasing a click in system for the fuse to mast and mast to board interface: https://youtu.be/q4F-eAEpkZw
