Guy wanted orange Zeta's so David does him a special order, amazing

thats cool.

Took the 5.5 out again today at El Bog. It was awesome. I had to fight off a mob of RAF and cam sailors telling me the sail needed less outhaul. It was hard work convincing them that it had it's own rigging requirements. I was blasting around with the guys on 7.0 sails and bigger boards. I'm really happy with it. Thanks for your tips Jonesy about the outhaul. I can't remember where I read it - where you said use the two maximum outhaul setting strings). Good tip.

thats great jn1 5.5 is such a good size when its blowing hard ,
you can just sheet in so hard ...all the way ,all day .
I think i need one was thinking of the 5.2 legacy but i think i will go the 5.5 cheetah.

glad you didn't listen to them ,

the lion 3 is way more powerfull however. But stop at 6,0

Thanks ....but I'm just looking for a small light throw around ,for high wind

i love them cheetahs .....

Hi anyone had any experience with 2014 8m cheetah? Im looking to get one as my goto sail. Im 105kg n 6'2". Used to sailing old tight leach aerotechs. Wind speed 10-25kts. Will this be enough sail to keep me crankin. Or too big? I mostly use 7.2 aerotech pro race.

Not at all.....to big .
you will find you will handle it no problems .great size to have .
I'm 96 kgs and mainly use my 2015 8.5 cheetah .i sold my 8.0 .
because I wasn't using it ,as the 8.5 was just that little bit better in light wind .
but if you can get a 2014 8.0 at a good price... go for it ....,you will have it for years .
it will be a great add to the quiver .

Sail presents as new. Been used about 8 times. $300 Au. Will it be ok for 90s style boards with Mastrack postion further forward ?

Sure.... ...$300 's a great price ......
remember the cheetahs are very adjustable ...

put it this way it will be better than a '90's sail .

CHEETAH CHEETAH CHEETAH !!!! Sailed 8m 12-22kts. Awesome how tunable these sails are.
