I'm guessing the mast is longer that on the pre-2015 A.I. models? Might be a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking to get a bit more speed from their older A.I.s Mike. |

I was actually talking about the photos of 2015 AI's, not previous models.. The sail in various photos are different. |

Is the sail in this photo the actual sail that comes with all new AI's ? Love the fact that it has full length batons. Photo supplied by Kayakingbob. Yes - that's the new sail for the AI (2015) |

Mike. Stringy corrected me on this. See http://www.hobiecat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=7276&p=250295#p250295 Here is an image of the AI and AI 2 bases. They are the same diameter and the latching ring is the same. Only the furling ring is different (slightly higher in the AI 2), but not a problem for using the newer AI 2 mast in place of the AI mast. Be aware that the AI mast (pre-AI 2) is capable of driving the AI bow and ama well under water in strong winds. So, the larger AI 2 mast & sail will not serve any purpose in high winds--they need to be furled to varying degrees. They should help in light winds. ![]() Keith |

Obviously the deck is higher in the 2015 which required that the furling drum sit a bit higher. Thanks for the photo. |
