Hello - may I ask, I have a Moto 7,8 but the bottom end isnt doing it for me. There are some cheap deals going. Would a new Mach5 7,8 be equivalent to getting a Moto 8,4 in bottom end ? For sailing on flat water. Kinda fancy a Mach, and getting a 7,8 rather than larger means I wouldn't have to get a new boom and mast.

Typically a 4 cam race sail improves top end when compared to the same / similar size 2 cam sails. Bottom ends of similarly sized sails would be the same. Hence being a bigger sail, the bottom end of a Moto 8.4 would be better than the bottom end of a Mach 7.8

A 8,4 is a great add to the Quiver ...don't waste your money on another 7,8 if you already have one even though the 7,8 M5 is a great sail ..I have one .good power .but 8,4 feels way bigger and great to have on the lighter days .maybe even look for a 8,5 or 8,6 .2nd hand 😎
