Well done! Very instructive as I am both a skiff sailor and a race board sailor and was always wondering about comparative pointing ability and vmg downwind. Just bought the same board as yours!
@@ydesdev1 Thanks. Best to use a proper raceboard type sail, setup with adjustable outhaul and downhaul. I use Demon VG7 sails. rest is practising good technique.
Mark Ward I use an RSX sail at the moment, which is showing me the ropes as it were, but as good as the Demon sail looks, your technique also seems spot on! Good luck with your next season!
Mark hi, very nice display of what’s possible! Do you happen to remember what fin you tend to use with the F2 Lightning and 9.5 Demon? I have the same setup that I’ve been borrowing from a friend but managed to rip the fin off on a planing reach, so if I’m getting him a new one I might as well try and find a good proven combo!
Thanks Mark, I have found an older 42 Select Elliptical design race fin so will pick that up to try. I was definitely struggling a little with the 35cm and the 9.5 6BL so that should help!
buena regata, da gusto verlo navegar!!

Very impressed with the angles you found!
