decrepit said..Waricle took some pics the other day.
But only after I had given the sail heaps of outhaul, trying to reef it in during strong wind, only to have the wind drop off.
So these pics are of the sail a long way from optimum setting.
Firstly the excessive out haull has created tension creases across the body of the sail.
But the twist in the head is still there.
The sail doesn't look too bad from this angle, and it felt quite nice.
Water state had settled down with the drop in wind and was a pleasant sail, but not fast. I should have let the outhaul off, but was running out of energy by then
If there's a 4.0 RDM around, yes may not hurt to try it, if I have the time to mess about. The thing is, it won't benefit anybody else, as nobody else will be using matrix 5s in Patrick sails, and I'm not really interested. And it will mean swapping 2 cams over twice, there would need to be a good incentive for me to go through that, if there's good sailing conditions. Best thing would be id somebody else had an identical sail with RDM, then we could just swap them over while sailing. Then you'd have a chance of picking any real difference.
