Have not tried it but should work ok, especially because of the weight gain of the SLS version.

On the other hand, a more efficient free race option would be to opt for the F Pace cam (has 2 small cams, fairly narrow luff sleeve so is easy to uphaul, has shorter boom/higher aspect than the E, and very good balance between power and stability). I sailed the 7.0 in Garda last year and was very happy with it.

I've not considered the F pace cam will take a look at them but what attracted me to 7.3 sls was the weight spec and the reported low end grunt that possibly work well on my freerace foil quiver. There's a sls 7.3 for sale locally at reasonable price.

I tested the F-type 7 m 4 (not the F-type cam) which has 2 sleeve inducers.

I didn't like it for low wind.

Although the sail looks nice and is of good quality.

The stickers for min and max on the sail are very close 10 cm to each other.

Somebody more savant than me (here or other forum) pointed out that the very narrow wishbones (like also on Naish RN lift) are not good for easy pumping for early flying, but are good for a wide high wind range.

The externa sleeve inducers are strange to me.

I got Severne Foilglide3 7 m and 8 m and am satisfied. Easy 3 cam rotation, small wishbone 203 cm / 211 cm but not to small, and light with Severne Blue RDM 460 cm.
