Hi, for better performance and racing, is there a prefered hull alignment? Ie is it better to have a tow in or out or straight measurment for the hulls. Also taking into account if the rig is loose or tight? How is this measurment done? Thanks

Its not adjustable other than striker tension. I have heard that a looser striker is prefered. That would lean towards more of a "toe-out". Square the frame for sure when tensioning the trampoline. Cross-measure the bows to rudder pins.
