Sweet! I have just ordered that very same model and size so look forward to testing it! Have you given it a go yet?

Looks like more downhaul required (and that's not the best lawn we've seen)

He didn't mention sailing it yet. Just described certain features and how they improve performance. The review seemed very brief if he has sailed it and that's all that was said.

That sail,a new carbon boom and mast........the best part of 4k

For that you can buy a really nice car.

All for the perceived improvement of speed.

From the testing i have done,not convinced new sails are faster,though I do concede that some of them rotate better.

Yeah I agree the price was insane. At least 1/3 more than my original RSS sails from 2006 I think it was. The marketing on such sails is often interesting. One year finer entry for better upwind, the following more shape forward for drive, then back a few years later for upwind again. See similar with board design.

But regardless needed ..... or at least wanted a 7.8. Severne would have been nice but cost more when you account for a new non NP mast. So I'm NP until the day my masts get destroyed by carbon eating termites!

I'm not jealous-- just that the price for what you get does seem to be artificial.

I see a lot more content in a car than in a sail.

Hope you enjoy your sail.

You are either high, or you have very low standards when labelling what is a really nice car. The dude has just bought a nice sail, why rain on his parade you jealous little man.

Nice sail gavnwend, before moving to the KA Race I had the previous version of the RSR and rated them. The new ones look nice, I hope you enjoy them.

You beat me to it. :)

I'm keen to know where I can get a new high performance car for $4k

ha ha ha I was in the middle of an edit when you quoted me..........

I believe there maybe a few at really nice cars at Sunnyvale worth a look

Any more smart comments and you'll be up for a thong slapping.

Des you're a stooge!!

New 7.0m on the way

On a technical note: the luff pocket is actually advertised as being 30% smaller. I'm in favour of anything that makes waterstarting easier
