Parham, SA, AU. Arrived an hour later than I should've. 5 kiters walking out when I parked up. Walked out when it was 1.5m (Port Wakefield tide). +30kt SSW. First time I've been powered up on my 5.2 RacingBlade. I did my best speeds at the start. But unfortunately I forgot to switch on my watch :(. Switched it on about 30% into the session. Still, happy to sail without the drive to Boggy or Stansbury. Pleased I took out the small RB. 63 JP Speed, 5.2RB, 18 MUF Delta. Experimenting with the RB at the moment. I was using a chopped NP 430 C100 Progressive curve SDM, and non-Loftsails cams to improve rotation. Chopped mast to 416cm. Rigs seems to feel ok, but won't really know until I use it powered up on flat water. A work in progress.

Nice Jason! Was the sail still stable with the new the cams?

Hard to be 100% certain during Parham session yesterday, but rig appeared to be stable (it never went back handed). But, I think that is more to do with the mast matching the sail. I used alternative brand cams to address a rotation issue. All my RBs (including yours), have binding issues with the cams on the mast. Particularly the top cam. But easily fixed. In my 5.2, I am using a Patrik Tekcam for the top cam.
