So patronising all this BS, sheeting angles, over sheeting, they said the same about the Solution, but it aint always so, sheeting angle is always horses for courses, if your light, if the wind is light, you can block to block and point it into the eye of the wind if you want, just don't bung on to much of that f**king kicker thing. BUT, if the foil aint helping then you're f**ked. No point having a finely tuned sail, without having a matching finely tuned foil under you, they work together and if you haven't clocked that then you should. The Blaze has a crap lightweather foil, FACT, just get over it and race other Blazes, or sail in conditions that suit that particular foil section = windy.

Sorry if you feel patronised. But simply shooting the messenger down every time you dislike the response will not help you improve either. Bottom line is you want to win / do better, but that more often comes with an open mind and a preparedness to challenge your own assumptions at least occasionally. |

Interesting that no one has mentioned construction. Most people never look at there board that was not built very well to start with being full of expanding foam in most cases. The likely hood of the bend and twist of a new board and one that's a few years old that has had some one jump on it a few times will be quite different. Some years ago some one stuck an endoscope down a box and you could see the tip flexing much more than the main foil as well as the gup of air being dragged down the trailing edge in each wave resulting in a nice vortex of drag and lose of bite.

You'll probably get protested for moveable ballast with that thing in there. Did you even buy him a buoyancy aid? No - thought not. Tight git... |

I'm not arguing. I'm explaining why I'm right.

No need really, the Solution never capsizes, Ever. In fact if you capsize a Solution you really need to consider your future as a dinghy sailing Otter. |

I have a fiver or two in the kitty if you have a foil going begging to get an old windsurfer foiling on an old Starbord carve :)?

Grumpf, since you enjoy fettling so much, how about taking on a sliding seat Minisail?
It's a cheap project, and think of the fun at crowded marks!

What like dualling with a couple of hotshot junior girls can't remember what they were in, but recall hardening up round the mark then chucking myself out to where the sliding seat should be but wasn't and hearing gales of laughter even whilst totally submerged.. ER its for sale, anyone? |
