X-Base Plate

FAQ

What is the NeilPryde X-Base Plate and what is it used for?

The NeilPryde X-Base Plate is a mast base plate for UXT systems and is compatible with the EuroPin and UXT Pryde systems. It forms a stable base between the mast and the board, replacing conventional base plates.

Which system is the X-Base Plate suitable for?

The X-Base Plate is designed for the UXT system (EuroPin or UXT Pryde). The NeilPryde X-Base range is also generally available as an MXT version, so suitable versions are available for both locking systems.

What advantages do the two T-nuts of the X-Base Plate offer?

Two T-nuts ensure a secure, non-slip connection of the base plate and allow for stepless adjustment. This eliminates the hassle of removing the base plate after every session.

How robust is the X-Base Plate in use?

The plate features an extremely flat design, rounded edges, and uses a high-tech Tendon material that is approx. 50 percent more robust and durable than conventional black connections.

Is the X-Base Plate suitable for travel and transport?

Yes, the ultra-flat design minimizes the distance between the sail and the board (Close the Gap) and saves valuable space in the board bag. This makes the X-Base Plate particularly travel-friendly.

How do I properly care for the NeilPryde X-Base Plate?

Rinse the plate with fresh water after use in salt water and regularly check the T-nuts and the quick-release system to ensure they are securely fitted, to guarantee permanently safe operation.
