The outhaul is a critical adjustment which has direct impact on rig performance.

Reduced outhaul makes the sail deeper in profile, generating greater power for light winds. Greater outhaul tension flattens the sail profile, making the sail much easier to handle and faster in medium and strong winds as the sail passes easily through the wind. In very light winds slack outhaul tension will add depth of sail profile, which directly powers up the rig. The distance between ideal strong and light wind outhaul trim may be as much as 5-7 cm.

TRIM IT!

Sails from The Loft are designed to be trim sensitive so you can maximize your performance envelope with less gear!

Optimising trim for high performance windsurfing is a learning process which has no limits! Improvements in one area will compliment trim improvements in other areas. Your windsurfing performance will expand as new trim configurations are experienced.
