One of those awesome sails when you completly lose touch with the world and ZONE right out for a while.

Got out on the water to very marginal stuff at 1.30 but the sun was shining and i was not working !!!!

As wind picked up a bit and i just sailed off in to the zone for a couple of hours. 67Ks of the Best medicine ever made!!! Thank you huey

F2 SX racing 111ltr  reflex 7.8   Select S10 41cm

PS- Rigged the Reflex differant to usual. Normal downhaul and absolutelt zero outhaul. Sail was touching boom right out to harness lines. Seemed to plane real early and stayed planing very well. Anyone else with reflexs found this combo works.

Hey Slappa

tried negitive outhaul felt full of beans but slighty heavy on the back hand I run mine touching the boom but only halfway. SP might run his a bit fuller by the looks, apparantly these sail do not have alot of ajustment on the downhaul side as they need the twist to be settled

Well what ever you are doing troutty it is working!! Nice speeds for yesterday

So I am downhauling till leech is loose across 70% of top panel (between 1st and 2nd batten). This seems to give a good amount of twist but feels like there is plenty (another 2-3cm) more downhaul if required.

I will play around with the outhaul .... as you say very full is very powerful but is a bit backhand heavy, which should be fine on days like yesterday but not with a few more knots.

an adjustable outhaul is great to play with, it is possible to find a sweet spot i find on my reflexes in moderate conditions (tends to sit on alot of the boom nearly to harness lines), but when powered up properly and running upwind downwind they are fantastic with it just touching the boom at the back, but this isn't the fastest off the wind so when really powered up the adjustable outhaul is quite necessary to get the outhaul in upwind and off on the downwind IMO
