Well I have had a long think about today and talked quite a lot.
Sorry no pictures, but there was the Schools Nationals on at our club, so no spare camera man/woman.
Nevermind
So I got to thinking today when I felt that I was not going too fast downwind when the wind had dropped off a bit.
It was very up and down in gusts today.
So I thought... what would happen if I applied some kicker downwind (contrary to how I have been achieving nice sail setting with spinny and the slot)
So I applied the kicker and hey presto I felt powered up....so here's the rub....no kicker or SOME kicker?
I reckon (no doubt in fact) in the windy stuff....NO kicker downwind....in the lighter stuff....maybe a little kicker tension just to keep a bit of power until you feel "in trouble"
Again....technique in progress, watch this space.
:o)
