| Voodmon: Kuz, in the winds you were sailing in no need for dagger, however you can retract it halfway or where ever you choose in combination with moving the mast track back as wind increases, dagger fully retracted, track all the way back. If the board is railriding= too much dagger. The windward rail should lift with full dagger for upwind work, but i would think in lees than 10 knots of wind. I'm sure you will figure it out. I spent years racing these buggers, 12 ft boards with retractable daggers and tracks in div 1 and open class, the fanatic ultra cat and my F2 lightening along with the mistral equipe were great boards, the carbon equipe came in at around 28lbs if i remember correctly. - Friday February 03, 5:31PM |
