Here is my first go at a racing video of the club race at RQYS with the Gopro from 14th Sep.
I reckon I'll have to get the Rainex to be a bit more effective on the lens.
Cool video.
Haven't you your harness line a bit too far back and too short for an RSX rig? ![]()
And maybe too much of that strap at the foot of the sail ![]()

Yes, glad you noticed, my harness lines were too far back in this race. That's why I kept dropping the front hand off to rest it. I actually moved them forward between races after this one. The length of the lines is good for me for this wind strength. I use them longer if I'm not on the plane, or if the wind is a bit lighter so I can sail using the up haul in the front hand. The tack strap is always done as tight as possible on an RS:X rig. The bottom of the sail is the best place to have the power, more manageable.
I'm fairly light so I was using it only around 12 knots. I found the sail was feeling too stiff with it, even more in the sub planning conditions.
Great vid
It has been a very long time since I raced a windsurf but that looks awesome. What type of board is that? How often does the RQYS run windsurfing races?
Newbie questions sorry!!
