Fuller? Less outhaul, less downhaul, Possibly more batten tension to "force" shape into the sail. Flatter? Just enough batten tension to remove wrinkles, more outhaul, more downhaul. |

Sooo....When do you want it fuller? When flatter? Incidentally, hobie_acores, I'm probably the only one on this site that's ever been to the Azores - Lajes Field, Tercierra 1967, 1968. Beautiful Island in the middle of the Atlantic. I didn't sail back then. Just a lot of spearfishing & riding my motorcycle around the Island. Rich |

Hi. The island evolved a lot since those days, now we have hobie cats here. lol .We have a fleet #936 and we are going to organize the Portuguese championship here during next week. I work in Lajes AB im a firefighter there. You are always welcomed to come back and sail with us, maybe we can go there to so sail in the Pacific one day. Regards. Rui |
