Leech Looseness
To begin, place your base at the recommended setting and downhaul to
within a centimeter or so of maximum. Observe the loose area and experiment
with increasing and decreasing the tension until you can see the setting that
you are after. The boom should be on the sail with the outhaul at the medium
setting printed on the tack of the sail.
The drawings underneath are meant to be a guide – not an absolute –
and a reference to enable you to attain consistent tuning results. According
to prevailing conditions, you will then either increase or decrease the downhaul
tension by one centimeter.
As for the outhaul tension, we strongly recommend you to use an adjustable
outhaul system which will enable you to tune your sail ‘on the fly’. Nowadays,
competitive riders use adjustable outhaul systems in all conditions, slalom
and course racing.
