Bueno, esto ya se lo pase a Manolo, para que fuera preparando todo, para el siguiente día que navegue y este yo, pero seguro que los demás también sacáis provecho.

1-Sail has too much pressure on back arm:
Move the harness lines 2 cm backwards along the boom. The body weight will help you to better close the sail trough the harness lines.
Pull extra 2 cm outhaul. It eliminates the back hand power.
2 - The sail feels heavy:
Downhaul the sail an additional 2 cm. the sail will increase its loose leach and thereby allow the wind to exit the sail faster: better acceleration, and therefore lighter feeling sail.
Mast carbon percentage; a 30% Carbon mast is not very responsive and the sail becomes heavier.
Is the mast the original mast? If the mast has a wrong curve, to the one advised, the sail may feel unstable and heavier.
The IMCS does not represent the curve of the mast, but only the stiffness. This means that even if the IMCS is correct the curve could still be different, and give problems.
Using a size shorter mast than advised, combined to a long extension, will make the sail feel lighter, as the IMCS of the mast is lower by normally 2 points.
3 - The sail is unstable:
Release the sail by 2cm at the outhaul. It creates a deeper profile, and gives a better pressure point in the profile which equals stability.
Pull the tack strap by the mast foot tight, and tension the lower 4 battens of the sail.
4-Too much pressure on the back leg:
Lower the boom. The body moves forward and displaces the weight onto your front leg.
Lengthen your harness lines. It will be become easier to get to have a better grip in the front foot straps, and release pressure from behind.
Move your mast foot 1cm forward. This reduces the power on the back leg.
5- The foot exits from the front strap causing us to catapult:
Put the foot straps in the outer position on the board. The foot might have found a good stable point on the rail of the board, and the strap is too far inward to give a good lock in position. Therefore by bringing the strap closer to the foot will give further security whilst sailing.
Move mast foot forward; when doing this, your whole body moves forward and thereby bringing your front foot closer to the front foot straps.
Lower the boom. This again will bring your front foot forward as the whole body gets closer to the board. This also gives more control in high wind.
6- The fin spins out:
Move mast foot forward: this reduces the pressure on your back foot that otherwise pushes your fin into a spin out!
Move your foot straps one hole forward, but bring back the mast foot by 1 cm: this decreases the pressure on the fin.
Use a 2 cm longer fin. It will hold more pressure from your legs.
Change the fin if you still have problems.
7- The nose of the board lifts up continuously?
Move the mast foot 1cm forward; The weight of the sail will keep the board down.
Lower the boom; This will help the sail to stay upright, more at a 90 degree angle to the board, and this allows less power, less lift which can be good to have in lighter winds, but not as the wind increases.
Decrease the fin length by 2 cm.
Release the downhaul by 2 cm; lesser loose leach will lower the trim of the board in stronger winds. It will offer more control in very strong winds.
8 – The board is glued to the water:
Move back the mast track. The nose of the board rises.
Raise the boom by 2cm: This creates more pressure through the legs on to the fin by keeping the board more on the rail, and the board nose rises.
Use a 2cm longer fin: A longer fin gives more lift and allows you to put more pressure on your legs.
Shortening the Harness Line will help in the same way as raising the boom height.
9 - Not able to close the gap between the sail and board?:
Move the mast foot forward. Closing the gap will become easier
Lower the boom. The boom has a shorter distance to travel in order to close the gap with the deck of the board.
10 – They are faster then you??:
Do you have a slalom board and sail? If you do then read the points from 1-9 very carefully and trim you gear.
Remember that slalom sailing is not just hanging into your harness and relaxing! You will need to be slightly overpowered and push the board to the limit without any fear.
Be ready to change your settings as the wind intensity changes.
Strong winds:
Longer harness lines, mast foot moves forward, smaller fin and lower boom.
Light winds:
Shorter harness lines, mast foot moves further back, longer fin and higher boom.
Find the right compromise in order to be the fastest one out there, and always try to keep some pressure on the back arm in order to have this extra power as an accelerator when needed.
