Hello,
I searched for this topic and couldn't find it. Apologies, if it is a repeat. I have a 6.4m wing from Manta that I use wingfoiling with a Gong Hype board. The Manta is well constructed and I have been successful getting up on foil. My sons and I all agree that Manta needed to put a third strap on the center strut. We feel that we are not getting the full power from the wing. (We can all get on foil, but of course my sons are already going upwind and I am still getting on foil but going down wind, but progressing). Should my local sail loft be able to easily add
a third handle on the center strut? Does anyone know of a handle and strap I could order online, and then have Quantum Sails (local loft)
sew it on for me? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you
Dan
