Just came across this article whilst searching adjustable outhauls . Has anyone seen or had experience with this rather radical tail concept. I assume the cutout trim tabs/wings flex and soften the ride in chop but provide additional planing capacity???? Gybing must be an experience too.

Lovely looking open ocean speed board from Nelson's too. Has a Mistral 91 feel about it?

My project board has had a few good runs now on flat water in wind ranging from 12-30k.. ..18-25k is where she feels best.

By all accounts on the right track and I have since modified the Trim Tail as there was excessive lift being generated. Releasing nicely now!

I'm using Ka Sails for testing, KaRace 8.7, Koncept 7.5, 6.6 & 5.8 ..The new 2014 range look awesome too!!
Vector Volt fins will be the fins I will try to work with most with some others for comparisons.

The next addition will be closer to 130lt and then something closer to 90lt..can't wait!

Happy Days!
