How not to rig your sail part 1 -

We have, some might say almost an obsession about badly rigged sails, it never seems quite so apparent in dinghy world maybe I've missed it, but you don't seem to have the same rigging awareness that the windsurfing world has where reams are printed about the application of the correct amount of downhaul and outhaul.

Maybe it's because we have so few controls compared with dinghies, which I must say despite having the more controls other than Dans Punk rig I have yet to come across one that can be varied as much as a good racing windsurf rig.

Then, every now and again you come across the worse thing that even the very basic beginner windsurfer would be ashamed to be photographed......



We'd say too much outhaul, not enough downhaul.

You lot would crack on about somebody called Cunningham has gone missing, but one wonders who let him go out like that, why wasn't he told?

You see the way the other boat is leaning over toward him..

It's because it's about to hand him his ass.

Given it is one of, if not the, nicest rigs on the market I find it particularly offensive, that sailors of that low a calibre should be allowed to represent the class.

That and Gingers..

Then they wonder why their class is not considered as cool as it might be..
