what do you use the 3.7 that like a kids sail
thanks for the website :)
do all the new boom come with the rope clips , my current boom has a platic with 2 hooks ( which i am scared is going break one day from wear and tear )
I use a 3.2m in winter gales.They are gusty some 40kts + but the sail needs it to be pretty well over 30kts regularly.
I just upgraded from my delaminating 3.2m 90's sail to this one last year and was super keen to try it out as I thought it was a modern twist off sail..
grr Its not as modern as i thought. I should have known when it's recommended mast is a 400m..[}:)]I was so excited that that meant i didnt need to buy another mast!
It has a turban so its pretty twitchy and will need consistent wind to feel ok..
I weigh c 64kgs..anything over 30kts I need a teatowel..
I've been out in winter gales with a 3.2m & been blown off the water . Gusts recorded at Nobbys to 60kts... Back in the 90's I was on the lake at the time and with the old sails & boards you could luff the hell out of the sail to survive..
