<<Hope this helps... BTW, carry a radio if you sail out more than you
can swim in. My boom breakage is now double digits.>>
Big folks stress booms more then light dudes, I know, I am not small
(210#). To help booms live longer, don't use booms w/a lot of extension.
In other words, if you sail requires 182cm of boom, use a boom which is
175-220cm range. I also found that flipping harness lines - using boom
from other side - @ end of season, helps reduce the stress and increases
life span by a few months.
I sail Ezzy sails, Wave SE, 3.7 to 6.9. Yes a 6.9 wave sail. It handles a
lot of downhaul, has an awesome shape which does not loose power/low end
punch when downhauled to max. Outhaul is always the same: predefined by
the sail, and noted with an awesome tape at end of sail. To rig, you
downhaul to max, set boom length so tape touches end of boom, outhaul till
sail snug against boom, and go. The best rigging set up I've ever tried.
I can't say enough good things about these sails - handle low end great,
amazing in op'd conditions, great on face of wave (easy to depower), good
upwind capability.
This sunday @ Crissy I was on the 6.9, got all the way to wind line no
problem, had a blast in the wind waayyyy by N. tower. Most folks there
seemed to be on tiny gear - must have launched from north side. The wind
was great by tower, but there was a hudge hole to get to the wind line. I
was on 114L Mistral flow.
