I used to own one of those North "Power XT" mast extensions, or whatever they're called. The ones with the lever.

So, so good when I was still learning. I could play around with the downhaul settings effortlessly. No need to leave the water. You can even adjust the downhaul while sailing. Click-click; that easy.

Where can you buy the power xt?

Melbourne shops have them.

The you are in for a treat with that new KA Koncept Sue.

I am just a frail little old man, and I've not even looked like having to use my downhaul winches since 2014 on Koncepts, or this year my 7.1m KA Race. Use Formula line and get a good downhaul handle like the Unifiber one and then carry it in your vest when sailing. Easy!

Frail? Who are you kidding?

Sail feels heavy - more downhaul
spinout- more downhaul
feel overpowered- more downhaul.
might as well start maxed out. Then if you can't get planning back off a bit till you are.
for many the problem isn't having enough downhaul, first they have to have SOME.
