Well today was really strange.
Remember back in the Tuning guide I mentioned mast rake settings?
Mast Rake = 6m65 - 6m60 all wind conditions
Well I think that is a BIG mistake.
I was really really slow and couldn't even keep up with any of the RS400's.
So on the water I adjusted the rake by moving some chocks (really easy work, the mast is really light to move)
As it turned out I had adjusted it to 6m85 (so more upright)
This increased my speed by a shedload and I was back in contact with the 400's.
I still could not beat the on the water today.
I the first race it was quite light winds (and I was the wrong rake)
The second race the wind was building, and I think I may have over cooked the mast rake as I was a tad overpowered upwind.
Shame really as previously I have been mixing it with the leading 400's.
I did beat a 29er today in both races, but then....so did the 400's.
