Re: GPS Tracking how to's
Hey good sir, thank you so much for the response. Ive been messing with all the modes, for on the water it seems like the only one that does sort of what is needed is Snowboarding or Ski'ing. I tried those today, snowboarding mode didnt seem to catch the distance properly and Ski mode somehow exited ...

GPS Tracking how to's
Just got a Huawei GT2 Pro smart watch. Lot's of cool features on it. Just wondering how most of you do your sailing logs. So far from what I can tell I have to put the watch in outdoor run mode which gives me the option to look at speed, distance and gps track, its the only mode ive seen so far that ...

Re: Tuning/ Rigging Advice for a 5.0 Hot Sails Superfreak
one small thing, unless you are running an adjustable outhaul, the clew should be snug or at least very close to the end of the boom, it helps stabilize the sai. I always used to leave mine with extra room, like in these pics, my thinking being that I could add outhaul easily if I was overpowered ...

Re: Tuning/ Rigging Advice for a 5.0 Hot Sails Superfreak
I'd be happy to have a look at how it's rigged in person. PM me if you like. I loved these sails for their maneuverability and gust eating capabilities. Like Dave said, Overdownhauling/outhauling kills the feel of these awesome sails, but they are a bit different to rig from standard mono film ...

Re: Tuning/ Rigging Advice for a 5.0 Hot Sails Superfreak
As MF4 says, don't believe the numbers on the bag. I think some of the batches has misprints on them. They are a bit tough to rig, but should work I think on SDM or RDMs. They are probably less sensitive to differences in SDMs, but I think they might need a bit of a flex-top...? Not sure about the ...

Re: Tuning/ Rigging Advice for a 5.0 Hot Sails Superfreak
Im pretty sure it likes 23cm of extension the best as 16 - 18 wasnt enough. Pretty sure i was over down hauling and definitely had to much OH as well. Not 100% about batten tension but it looks better than before. Thanks to Bobson for checking it over with me
