Falcon 131 SL7 37cm  Loft Blade LE pentex 7.7m  Lake Bonney  8-20knts

Surprised to get some wind the BOM has been looking depressing for the last few weeks and it was a good opportunity to tune my new sails...well one anyway.

Second time on the new 7.7 pentex Blade so spent the afternoon tunning the sail and found that it is very reponsive to different outhaul settings the more i let the downhaul off the faster my peak times were getting.
Wind was very gusty from 8 knts to gusts of 20 knts plugged the manta 67 later in the day to see how the 7.7m would feel on it and it handled the sail with ease.
