HI Keith,

Glad to hear she went well. I haven't sailed the 6.4 but we rigged it up for a customer and it looked pretty sweet. Nice fullish foil with good twist. Do you have a 430 skinny also?

All the best,

Sam.

I'm with you stribo.
In 25 Knots + the last thing I would want to be on is a 5.8 with a wave board.
4.5 was comfy at Greenhead the weekend before the comp with a 76Ltr wave board.
A 5.8 Race sail and slalom board at Hardies run on the other hand

remember; as a rule: take of 25% for the east coast......and with some sailors upto 40%!

A rule you could also apply to Perth metro wave height

I sense a bit of confusion here. Keef's sail is the Boxer Slalom not the one Kauli uses. Basically it's a race sail designed for the shorter masts that most wave guys have. The 6.4 and 7.0 rig on a 430 skinny.

Do they have less power than the boxer wave? I know the boxers that i have had have heaps of bottom end power but lack in top end speed.
I just can't see how any 5.8 would be comfortable in 25 knots plus let alone on a small wave board .Unless you enjoy sailing sideways

quit talking about the photo and just post it here. as if anyone bothers looking in the gallery anymore!!



keef said..."ive just chopped my rrd wave from 2.45 to 2.34 and added 1/2 kg to the weight of the board,taken the rocker out to 4mm at 1.2mt from tail, to 52mm at 1.8, sharpened the rails, and added carbon stringers from front of fin box to 750, then laminated the entire bottom of the board with 3.oz unidirectional carbon,so i had to sacrifice weight for a stiffer and flatter board with a wave profile for faster jibes, any comments, or have i waste'd my time"
