Jordy , Maciek was faster and his Neilpryde sail looks like it handling better in gusty winds. Looks like NP absorbs and keeps wind in the sail better too.
The mast sleeve/double skin is quite small compare to previous years. It looks like a S_Pace, isn’t it? Is it your experience also that the S_Pace has less upwind capability than a Warp or other Race sails, or is it just me who is not as capable than my colleagues with Warp or Race sails (NP, Severne, Loft).
It's funny how much colours can do, mast sleeve dimensions are identical to 2024! I don't remember any 'upwind problems' on the S_Pace! a couple of tips: In terms of stance: Make sure you turn your hips into the wind, when your hips are turned your gear will follow! In terms of tuning: Make sure your outhaul is a bit tigher, otherwise the sail will pull you downwind. Also try different downhaul settings, personally I like to use more downhaul than the max wind dot in the S_Pace indicates!
@@JordyVonkNED69 thanks you for the answer. I also pull slightly more downhaul on my S_Pace than the reco like I did on the S_Type before. I usually stall at earlier angle than my colleagues with race sails. Like you say, I tried many small steps in the tuning : outhaul, mastfoot position, boom height but no big improvements. The 6,6 “climb” higher than the 7,8…and 7,8 is 65% of the sailing. 🙏🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
