I have a Horue Tiny 105 ltr foil board with a SAB / Moses Bals W799 foil in combination with my freestyle wave / freemove sails 5 batten Gun Torro 2021 ( size 4.3 - 5.0 - 5.7)

Is it a upgrade for my foil style foiling when I use a 4 batten Gun Seal core wave sail 2022 ( size 4.3 - 5.0 - 5.7) compared to the Torro's?

I have exactly the same foil and the board is also a 105 (Goya) board, and I'm very happy with Goya banzai because I usually sail in a gusty conditions, and with the double pulley on the boom, is very easy to decrease power of the sail and let it breath, and the sail feels more compact. Then the range wind is more wide. A double pulley is a good thing for freefoil.

I agree about the double pulley, which I call adjustable outhaul (AO). I use AO on every sail I own, from 4.2 to 9.2. Cammed and camless.

If you are not using AO on the water, you are cheating yourself out of half the wind range the sail is capable of. Besides range, the AO adjusts the shape of the leading edge for steep upwind and downwind angles.
