Get the new halyard solution- dont have one, use a bit of rope- now legal and much better. When it's windy (when your overpowered) upwind you want as much downhaul as possible (6:1 purchase helps alot, even if you think you don't need it- I was proved that i needed it recently In other winds where you are looking for power experiment to get the fastest shape. Btw used my new sail today- quite liked it, i reckon it is better than hydes when the breez picks up but suffers slightly upwind in vvery light winds. |

Ellie no if ur sail is above the boom you have rigged it right, everyone else i knows seems to be above the boom and if it went below the boom they really need to yank on the halyard to pull it up...............this person may not realise you are allowed to make a halyard 2:1 so it might be harder for them to get the sail up.

Compared to my old sail, it's true that the new sail is much flatter. Still, I adjust the downhaul (a bit), to avoid creases. The outhaul and kicker are the best way to control the shape of the sail. It all depends on the wind and where you're going. From what I gather, you want your sail much flatter going upwind than going downwind. If it's really windy, the sail is better flat; in light conditions, you want a nice bulge
 . It's a matter of trying it out and seeing what makes you move faster.

No it might be a feature of the new design sail or a very very stretched one with full downhaul on !

Mint! Oh, yeah you know the topper sail, some of them hang under the boom (by like 2 inches or so) but mine doesn't even touch the boom (well, not really)! Have I done something crazily wrong to it??! |

), sheet block to block andf get max kicker, not to much outhaul, as it controls the bottom 1/3rd of the sail and thats where you want the power 9about a hands width from the boom). However if you keep screewing into wind let a little kicker off and put more downhaul on. downwind let your downhaul off completely, and your kicker off so the boom is at 90 degrees to the mast (put more on if you are deathrolling), let a little outhaul off.
