What will be the sail colors for the FX One next year? And when will a different color spinaker be available for the FX One? Maybe blue like the Tiger. |

If we could get either red or blue that would be cool. Both look pretty darn neat. |

Yeah, need a more colorful sail. The yellow or the smoke are bland to me. Needs colors like the Fiji Worlds colors. |

While the smoke sail is kinda bland, it is a really cool looking sail. It has a really high tech look. Especially when the light is shining from behind. It has a kinda carbon fibre-ish look to it. Alternating panels of the red, and smoke, would be fricken awesome. Almost makes me wish my main wasn't in such good condition. |

I am hoping that there is a Blue FX spinaker available next year. I can then keep it in good condition and use my red one to hack around on. I put my Tiger F18 Spin up but it was a bit to long in the luff. I think if i had droped the pole down about 6" it would have worked. The sheeting angle seemed OK. That F18 spin sure looked big on there. Maybe I will rig it next year and give it a try. |

Longer pole perhaps? But that will change the sheating angle as well. Unless it will work in your favour. The foot is probably a bit longer so maybe that is the answer. I think the Tiger pole is the same. As is the mast. Attach the block higher on the line through the mast? |

Thanks Karl, Those thinge i thought of, but i didn't want to make changes yet. I just flew the spin up the mast. The Tiger pole is a bit longer, about 3-4 ". I figured I would just raise the spin halyard block up about 4" and try that. Then put it back down for racing as there is a max height it can be by the rules. I figured that I could use the big spn on the monday night racing we do just to mess around with it. So I needed the changes if any to be quick ones. |
