brrrrr......that was cold, arrived to find all sheets frozen.
Although a fantatic sail, nice and sunny Force 2-3.
I have been sailing with the kicker just taking up the strain when I release the mainsheet tension for upwind sailing, this seems to work fine.
For downwind I found in the light stuff, just releasing the kicker a bit works better than keeping it on (a heavy wind setting)
So I was very pleased with my overall performance..... just over a minute behind the winning RS400 on the water, not too far away from the B14.
Also pleased to announce that I am able to hold off if not catch up leading RS400 and B14 on a reach with neither of us flying kites.
:o)
That sounds about right on the kicker front, the danger being if you have it too loose in light winds you lose some of the oomph out of rool tacks.
