Facts:
Surface , soft sandy beach.
Wind, 8-10 knots.
Tyre pressure, 0,5 bar.
Sails size 6.6qm uncut windsurfer sail/rigg.
Buggy type , wind/ice flyer.
I just want to test the working off the system and the behavior of the rigg in those low wind conditions with and with out the new system. wind surfer sails are desined while sailing, the mast lean toward the wind.
With out the system and the mast in vertical position the buggy didn' move on the soft sandy beach, no matter what i tried sitting in it. It only runs at the hard beach at the waterline.
With the new system and the mast towards the wind position the buggy start moving when i pull the boom in the wind, even in those low wind ,soft sand conditions.
Just before the tack i pull the rope to unlock the base and the mast swings to the other side, direct after this i turn the buggy.
No high speeds this day but just running.
So with the new system there is more lift for take off comming out the sail, and smooth and easy to operate it ( had problems to operate when the swing system was at boom hight)

I will do appreciate all help in this.
