hi folks,
threw the ca sp44 and koncept 5.8 with lw/mcd sym 23 down a speed course for the first time in west kirby (england)
please watch and tell me what you think,

1. the 5.8 (08) is rigged on a 100% ka sails rdm, bottom 2 cams are rdm top std the bottom 2 have spacers (ka) in the packet there were large and small i would say 6mm and 2mm i have spaced each with 2 large spacers 12mm when rotating the sail i sometimes have to click the final shape in so i would say i have spaced as much as poss top cam no spacers, i downhauled to full 430 and a touch over till the 4th panel from the bottom got that diagonal twist and the batten above started to 'relax' outhaul 0-negative......how does the sail look? one of the locals claimed i needed more downhaul but i felt (to the 5.8 rigging guide) i had gone to the extreme setting and did test the downhaul prior but felt the sail was loosing shape and looked too flat so i didnt.

2. technique... feel free to take the mick but im new to speed on new kit and know i wasnt as locked in as i could of been

first proper outing on speed kit down a broad course
wind gusting up to 30, angle 130
5x 10 sec average 35.24
peak 36.54
