Just bought my new 2015 Revo16/(Adventure) and remembering you're 2006 call about better sail (Hobie stock small sail) foot control on the Adsventure if the rear sheet block is moved forward I couldn't find the post and and since re-joining the forum I cant see any Images. Could you refresh my memory on this?

Ta, Max.

Ah, Thanks muchly.

I may have to ask another question on Friday when I get my 3 SqMtr, (about 32 SqFt), Star Kayak Sail.
Here's a video of the smaller 2.5 mtr2 Sail-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6g6yeXWna4
I do not know the length of the new sail's Foot yet.

TY again.

Congrats on the '15/16 purchase Max. I'm very jealous. I didn't know any had arrived downunder. Looking forward to your impressions. With the larger Star sail you have my dream combination.

Lol, thanks for the heads-up Mate.

Just getting over a dose of Chemo I had yesterday but should be recovered enuff by Saturday to try it out and let you know.
Recumbent Hater's are often in a bad humour because they have a constant PITA with that sharp tiny seat on Wedgie's being jammed up their crack whenever they ride.

Funny how they are happy to Pedal a Recumbent Kayak but not a Bicycle?

Stringy, here are the first pics of the installation, weather so bad up here that first test flights have been delayed.

My mates are already in fear of my new sail and rightly so, more news as it happens.

That really does look like a huge sail! nice to see it in pics to get an idea of the scale.

That sail looks terrific on your Revo 16 Max! 8)
Should be a great performer. Yeah, it's a shame about the weather. Been bad here as well. We had no power for 5 days thanks to that first East Coast Low and then I saw you guys up the coast copped another.
Hope you can get out soon to try it!

Thanx for the enthusiasm gentlemen.
Had a late 10 knot NE sea breeze today but I was at the Kayak Shack spraying Hobie protectorant on the Hull and attaching tell-tales to the sail.
The Westerly's have begun to set in and it looks a bit average for the weekend :?
