Slingshot Ghost Whisper 101 and 111 masts (made by Moses) are directly compatible to the Moses 900 fuselage. Otherwise there is no adapter that I'm aware of for other Slingshot mast types.

I think this is what you are looking for...

Moses windfoil mast to fuselage connections are longer and wider than their kitefoil connections. The Slingshot mast adaptor plate is intended for Moses kite/surf fuselages.

I’ve run everything in C position. I’m on a 145 Dialer which has a little more nose weight. I moved the mast track back 3” for the 84. It rides OK, there’s just no way I can keep the nose from diving during a gibe. I’ve read other forums where guys are drilling new holes in the fuse to get the foil farther forward. Really don’t want to reengineer the product to get it to work. So, $500 paperweight.

Shim the stab. I used a fiber washer slightly trimmed on the sides to fit.
That was for the H2 on a nose heavy board, same principle applies.

Perhaps the 84 was designed for a big pilot.
BP has the weight to lever the nose up thru jibes.

Foiling does require weight shifts, but weighting front straps still allows for the backfoot to be IN a regular strap.
For example, a wide strap placement allows you to weight from -10 to +110 % of your weight as you shift from back to front.
Typical powered up windsurfing might require 90% backfoot
weighting, but the front foot is still IN a strap.
Convert now to foiling, where between 50-100% of your footpressure is on the front straps.
You can still have the rear foot IN it's strap.

]this from Wyatt may be of some help, as it certainly helped me. I am over 200lbs riding an 84 cm infinity wing on a 150L slightshot wizard board. moving the mast track bolt a small bit has been helpful for fine tuning....

]I just made a few videos on the Slingshot Sports Youtube page that helps answer a few of these questions. I will paste one link below,

Windfoil is all about getting the balance placed right. I don’t feel weight matters all that much. You just want he center of lift right behind your front foot.

For windsurfing we never use position A

For all the wings except the Infinity 84 - we use position B

For your Infinity 84 use position C, to get the lift further forward. Same for Jibing and getting started.

The normal 42 inch stabilizer is mounted on the top of the fuse with wingtips pointing up.

For footsteps, I suggest all the way forward with the front straps, and one hole from the rear in the back straps. Some folks don’t like to use the back strap, but just like your normal windsurfing learning process, at first you can’t seem to get in the back strap and it feels awkward, but once you do get used to using the back strap…you will never go back and it will seem crazy that for a while you did not use them.

For starters put your mast base 107cm from the front tuttle bolt. Then adjust according to this video:

Hope that helps!
