You could ask Bruce Peterson at Sailworks about which is the best mast.

>Does anyone know what MCS stand for?

Mast Curve System (It's an older system which does not take the length of
the mast into consideration) .
IMCS is the newer system, which does take the length of the mast into
consideration.
I'd think a 480 0r 490 IMCS 28-30 mat would probably be the best, as a 460
would require more than a 40 cm extension (511cm - 460 cm = 51 cm.
I think the Sailworks  XR 490IMCS 30 is probably the recommended mast but
since  we don't know how old your sail is it might be worth asking Bruce.

There are lots of used boards available in Hatteras. Take a look in the
shops there!
