I just received my new 2015 gun sail GSR 5m from Strath windsurfing shop.

Looks very nice and very keen to get it on the water ....

1st thing i noticed is the bag is well made with enough room to fit the sail.

It rigs well and the cams fit nicely on the rdm mast - not enough wind in my backyard to try the rotation, but will hopefully get the sail on the water soon and will keep you posted....

They'll do Vando .

Looks quite the weapon Carl, look forward to seeing it overtake me sometime in the near future...

Dissapointing effort on the lawn. I'm thinking half marks - five out of ten.

Yep agree I've had to much time off the water

My 5.5 Maui TR9 with 408cm luff has 9 battens.

Now when I look at a 7 batten sail,even in the 5m size the gap between the battens looks too big!

Bigger gap likely leads to more power though as well as feeling softer and lighter.

I wonder if we will ever see a 10 batten sail.

I am sure someone will dig up a picture of a 10 batten sail from the past.

I think the Gun Sails GS-r 3m looks good with 7 battens just have to wait until it gets a run on Lake George to see how fast it can go.
