Great to have a decent SW'er for a change. Enjoyable balanced sail after spending a few runs fine tuning footstrap size/harness lines after moving footstrap location.

Now you can really sail anytime!!!! How much volume for those old ships?

Fencing and a mad sailboarder........................................watch out for the Jedi master when the wind dissapears for long periods.

Got one of those Reflex speed machines. They are awesome too!!!!!!!!!!!!

My rigging tips for what its worth

Very little outhaul (just off the boom by 1/2 a cm)

Mastbase more forward than I normally would go

Wind range is huge.....................7.0 is for 22knots plus ( I weigh 86kg). Ive got the 7.8 and it can handle alot of wind no probs

Fin choice has been important. Using bigger fins with more area at the tip with the reflexes. Just changed the boards feel so much (the punk set me up with the sweet and crelatively cheap select s10s. So good)

Have been moving house last 2 weeks .......shit it sucks but all done now. So back to sailing again today to try out the settings on the reflex again for myself. Cmon huey please blow today

Nice going team- they are good averages and the first runs on the baord for March- well done.

I spent the arvo swashbuckling at my sword fencing club stabbing people, and picked up a free mistral one design raceboard. Score!

oh my that is sweet blast from the past

My mate had one when I was a young grom , and I was sooooooooooooooo jelous.

They do go very well for their size from memory............I want to see you in the back straps in 20knots plus with a new age sail. I bet it would fly and be the talk of the town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet session guys. The Minstral looks like it was made 4 you Obi wan. How did you get it home? It must have stuck out at least a meter each end of your car. Just remember the red flag. Please dont tell me you bought it home on the scooter.

Im jealous now Slappa, theres a ton of fun to be had with that board and Obi is just the guy to make it.
