For 2006 The Loft includes a simple, light outhaul adjustment system with all sails.
Those who adapt best to the conditions win windsurfng races. A basic part of adapting to conditions is the adjustable outhaul. Racers normally rig their sails with outhaul adjustment systems that include boom-mounted cleats and low-friction roller-blocks.
The Loft adjustable outhaul system is not intended to replace racing-type outhaul adjustment systems. With care when placing and using The Loft adjustable outhaul, the recreational windsurfer now has an easy way to modify outhaul tension without having to go to the beach.
The adjustable outhaul allows easy on-the-water outhaul adjustments so you can adapt your rig to the windsurfing conditions without needing to visit the beach. Once experiencing the system you will appreciate its ease of use and the expansion of your wind range.

Using the Adjustable Outhaul:
- Adjustments are best made when stopped, then adjust as needed and go!
- With positions of the adjustable outhaul and line lengths adjusted to suit you and your boom, outhaul tension can be released while in the harness.
- Tensioning the system is best done when not hooked in the harness.
- Extreme hard trim (outhaul set very tight for strong wind conditions) may be best set without use of the adjustable outhaul as the system as long lines and high tensions may stretch and result in lower outhaul tension.
