I watched this when i was a super beginner. It helps a lot. Now 6 years later I sailed pozo. Thank you for your explanation otherwise i quited windsurfing...
Looking at tips after being stranded in F7 winds today. I didnt realise that my poor downhaul and outhaul settings effected the controlability of my sail soo much. cheers
I wish you would elaborate more on why doing certain things, like why do you expand the boom exentions, why not leave it as is, when using the same sail. Also how much tension on teh ropes and so on.
It all depends on the manufacturer and a size of the sail also (camber/non camber) But the procedure i ussualy. Open camber pockets Insert Mast Downhaul to the point where the sail is streightenned. Max outhaul Puch cambers in, close pockets. Downhaul at max
Nice Video, I introduce people to the proper nomenclature..."rope" is for landlubbers, Line is for sailors...The rope-I think it is the "downhaul"....etc.
It depends, and the range is wide - depending of percentage of carbon, brand name and etc.. Mast ranges from ~$200 to ~$500, boom - $150-$400, sail $250-$650, small parts (extension, base) ~$100. You may get a full set at Isthmus Sailboards for ~$1300. But if you are a beginner you may save a lot of money if you hunt for a second hand stuff, in this case prices may be pretty symbolic.
Turkey. You adjustment was one for heavy one for light. Doesn't explain the first thing about wind flow... Better have been the lottery son... You can stay selling boards.
