Slimline Adapter

FAQ

What is the Ascan Skinny Adapter and what is it used for?

The Ascan Skinny Adapter is a quick adapter that allows you to clamp an RDM Skinny or Junior mast with a 32 mm diameter into a standard universal joint. This allows you to use a slim junior mast with your usual standard universal joint.

Which masts is the Skinny Adapter suitable for?

The adapter is designed for RDM masts with an outer diameter of 32 mm, as typically used with Skinny and Junior masts.

How is the Ascan Skinny Adapter mounted?

The adapter is positioned on the universal joint using its three large rollers. The Skinny mast is then inserted and secured as usual with the mast holder – this makes the changeover possible in just a few steps.

Does the adapter also fit SDM masts or other diameters?

The Skinny Adapter is specially designed for RDM masts with a 32 mm diameter. For other diameters such as 35 mm or 38 mm, Ascan offers separate adapters in the Junior series.

Is the Ascan Skinny Adapter also suitable for children and beginners?

Yes, the adapter was developed to allow the Skinny or Junior mast to continue being used in a child-friendly windsurfing setup. This makes it the ideal solution when children are going out on the water with the same universal joint as their parents.

What advantages do the three large rollers offer?

The three large rollers ensure a stable, play-free support of the Skinny mast in the adapter and allow for easy insertion as well as an even distribution of force while sailing.

How do I properly care for the Skinny Adapter?

After use in salt water, rinse the adapter with fresh water and let it dry. Regularly check the rollers for smooth operation and clean them of sand and salt if necessary.

What is included with the Skinny Adapter?

The Ascan Skinny Adapter is included as a complete unit with the three rollers – you can mount it directly on the universal joint.
