Om du vill satsa lite, skaffa en premiumfena på 34cm och gör dig av med T-Zone (göm den i garaget), du anar inte hur stor skillnad det är. Select (typ Freeslam) är ett steg på vägen, bra förslag.
Vi som är (eller jag som är helt fen-galen) skulle prova C3 Sting eller Venom, Black Project R-type, Tectonics Goldwing, men det är kanske overkill till den brädan…
Förslag på mycket bra weed till hyggligt pris: Lessacher Chamaleon 28cm.

Mattias du som känner alla, var ligger denna kanal?

[andersbq]

När vi var där så var det ca 20-30 cm vatten.
Ser ut att nu kanske vara cirka 50 cm vatten i mitten av kanalen. Men längst sidorna så är det nog inte mycket. Den är inte muddrad på 6-7 år, och när dom körde MoS så hade dom en traktor med en vattenpump modell stor så pumpade upp till bredden.

[andersbq]

Man kanske skulle skaffa en blå fenväska.

Segeltrim = mastval, nedhal, uthal, uthalshöjd, bomhöjd, hängselelinor längd/placering, tackstrap, lattspänning, cambertryck. Men när det krisar även slipa lattor eller byta dem.
Ska fungera med brädtrim = mastfotsplacering, fenor, stropplacering.
För mig brukar det ta upp till 3-5 dagar innan optimala trimmet sitter, per segel.
Så det kan ta några månader att trimma in hela segellinjen.
Här brukar vissa säga, ”jag bara drar ner och kör, det är så enkelt med XX-seglen.”
Och det kan ligga viss sanning i det, vissa segel är väldigt klara från fabrik, andra är halvfabrikat.
Men det beror mest på vilken ambition du har. Hur som haver är det väldigt svårt att segla med feltrimmade grejor. Tyvärr väldigt vanligt att många gör det. Tips, skaffa rätt mast, dra mycket nedhal och neutral uthal så har man en bra start, och prova dig fram till vad som känns bäst på ovan nämnda parametrar. Alla segel har t ex inte möjlighet att justera cambertryck eller kanske saknar tack-strap. Samma trim funkar inte för alla, beror på seglarens vikt, segelstil, seglingsförhållanden mm.

Från ”segel ur påse” till ”optimalt” är det flera knops skillnad. Men framförallt fel mast, fel nedhal = nästan omöjligt att använda.

Härligt Anders, tack!

Vad anser du om segel föresten, jag väljer lite mellan Severne Overdrive, Severne Turbo och kaaanske Severene Reflex 4 (dyr). Storlek ca 7kvm. (jag väger 80kg naken, kanske 85kg när man har all utrustning, full mage och lite vatten i dräkten)

Ingen aning, har inte provat något Severne på 4 år. Då var deras racesegel inget vidare, stackars Björn, men nu är dom nog kanon. (han gjorde ju samma resa med North sails).
Det är få som kör Severne här i Sverige, ingen som speedar, men någon måste det väl vara som kanske kan dem? Nu finns det ju en annan tråd där vi alla rekommenderar våra egna segelmärken…
Starboard har ett eget web-forum, där även Svein Rasmussen svarar ibland. (trevlig norrman som äger Starboard och vet en hel del om Severne skulle jag gissa). http://www.star-board.com/forum/

[andersbq]

Nu ska vi se om jag kan formulera mig lite mindre klumpigt.
Det finns inga dåliga segel nuförtiden. Nej, det gör det kanske inte. Däremot är det en otrolig skillnad mellan olika segels karaktär. Det som jag tycker är dåligt, kanske någon annan uppskattar. Förhoppningvis segeldesignern eller produktchefen på resp märke iallafall.
Men min poäng är, kanske var lite oklar där, är att många har för få dagar på vattnet för att utvärdera/trimma sina egna grejor och ännu mindre ha bra möjligheter att testa andras. Det är också få som verkligen har provat fler segel-linjer från samma tillverkare med rätt trim. Jag har inte heller testat alla märkens alla linjer. Men det ÄR jättestor skillnad. Bland raceseglen så funkar och känns NP helt annorlunda mot t ex ett Loft. Ett KA känns helt olika mot ett North. Ett Naish påminner mycket om ett Loft i känslan men saknar axet, osv. Så visst har du rätt Christian, mycket är tycke och smak.
Jag tycker att det bara finns ett seriöst test i världen nuförtiden, Plancemag. (sen kan man även diskutera deras test, då dom bara brukar ha en tung seglare mm) http://planchemagleblog.blogspot.se

Dilemmat med att fråga på ett forum, spelar ingen roll inom vilket område, är att få eller ingen har koll på hela marknaden bland premiummärken. Det blir typ, mina xxx-skidor är jättebra, bättre än mina förra yyy-skidor.

PS En brasklapp kring dåliga segel. Med lite insyn bland segelmakare, så är det högst varierande med tid som läggs på vissa segellinjer och storlekar. Många märken har bara någon enstaka segeldesigner och få eller knappt någon anställd testseglare. Mycket kärlek och omtanke läggs på våg, men kanske inte lika mycket på freeride och inte heller race. Duktiga tävlingsseglare, utan uppdrag att utveckla freeride, lägger inte testveckor på varje storlek på varje segel. (ofta har man 5-7 linjer med 5 storlekar i varje, som ska i produktion i maj/juni, detta samtidigt som PWA-cupen är i full blomstring).
I många fall så tar man fram en storlek t ex ett 6,4 som sedan skalas upp och ned. Har man tur så är 7.0 också bra, men kanske 5,5 och 8,6 är mindre roliga. Ska man ge ett generellt tips så är det bättre att köpa segel som varit med i många år och fått mindre årsmodelljusteringar. Lite som man brukar säga om bilar. Och ett annat tips, om du seglar mindre än 30 dagar, byt inte grejor varje år, för då hinner du inte trimma in dem.

[andersbq]

Isonic kanske du sätter 1 gipp av 10.
Om du väger under 85kg så är Futura 101 inte så dum. Men ska du ha 2 brädor så småningom så satsa på 111 och skaffa en typ JP Supersport eller annan lättseglad slalom på drygt 90 liter. Det finns många bra brädor i den storleken. Med den lilla brädan kan du åka riktigt fort också.

[andersbq]

Det är en bra bräda, lätt att gippa med. Inte super snabb men funkar för fri segling.

[andersbq]

Där är du inte ensam, har ju varit ett racing fäste i historien, mycket av Anders B´s avlagda grejor har fortsatt sina dagar där. Kanske läge att du satsar på camber-prylar ändå, för du vill inte väl bli ifrånåkt?
Gå inte på det där om att alla grejor är lika bra nuförtiden, det är bara reklamsnack. Det är rejäl skillnad mellan grejorna. Annars är det som att säga att alla carving-skidor är lika bra. Dom flesta som ger råd har inte provat särskilt mycket olika grejor.

[andersbq]

Det är nog bara Loft som skickar med SDM och RDM cambers till samtliga segel.
Vår rekommendation (Ja jag är sponsrad) är att man kör RDM om man väger under ca 75 kg på samtliga storlekar upp till 9,6m2. Själv så är det RDM på allt under 7.0, och alltså SDM på samtliga större segel.
Har dock även långa RDM-master på 520, och om man ej är proffs, utan mer fri-åkare så funkar det även bra på 7,8 och 8,6. Man tappar dock ca 1,5 knop på toppfarten, typ 35 knop istället för 36,5.

[andersbq]

Du kör väl fortfarande på Siljan?
Mycket djupt vatten och många timmar ensam.
Har för mig att du inte ännu är supertrygg på gippar etc. Satsa på freerace eller ännu hellre ocambrat.

[andersbq]

där ser man, visste inte att det fanns ett ”branchforum”, det som postas där lever nog lika undangömt som resor eller SUP.

Här är Appendix för vindsurfing, inkl speed reglerna (fet stil)

APPENDIX B
WINDSURFING COMPETITION RULES
Windsurfing races shall be sailed under The Racing Rules of Sailing as changed by this appendix. The term ‘boat’ elsewhere in the racing rules means ‘board’ or ‘boat’ as appropriate. The term ‘heat’ means one elimination race, a ‘round’ consists of several heats, and an ‘elimination series’ consists of one or more rounds. However, in speed competition, a ‘round’ consists of one or more speed ‘runs’.
A windsurfing event can include one or more of the following disciplines or their formats:
Discipline Formats
Racing Course racing; Slalom; Marathon Expression Wave performance; Freestyle
Speed Standard Offshore Speed Course; Speed
Crossings; Alpha Speed Course
In racing or expression competition, boards may compete in elimination series, and only a limited number of them may advance from round to round. A marathon race is a race scheduled to last more than one hour.
In expression competition a board’s performance is judged on skill and variety rather than speed and is organized using elimination series. Either wave performance or freestyle competition is organized, depending on the wave conditions at the venue.
In speed competition a board’s performance is based on her speed over a measured course. Boards take turns sailing runs over the course.
CHANGES TO THE DEFINITIONS
The definitions Mark-Room, and Tack, Starboard or Port are deleted and replaced by:
Mark-Room Mark-Room for a board is room to sail her proper course to round or pass the mark. However, mark-room for a board
52
Appendix B WINDSURFING COMPETITION RULES
does not include room to tack unless she is overlapped inside and to windward of the board required to give mark-room and she would be fetching the mark after her tack.
Tack, Starboard or Port A board is on the tack, starboard or port, corresponding to the competitor’s hand that would be nearer the mast if the competitor were in normal sailing position with both hands on the wishbone and arms not crossed. A board is on starboard tack when the competitor’s right hand would be nearer the mast and is on port tack when the competitor’s left hand would be nearer the mast.
The definition Zone is deleted. Add the following definitions:
About to Round or Pass A board is about to round or pass a mark when her proper course is to begin to manoeuvre to round or pass it.
Capsized A board is capsized when her sail or the competitor is in the water.
B1 CHANGES TO THE RULES OF PART 1
[No changes.]
B2 CHANGES TO THE RULES OF PART 2

Rule 13 is changed to:
After a board passes head to wind, she shall keep clear of other boards until her sail has filled. During that time rules 10, 11 and 12 do not apply. If two boards are subject to this rule at the same time, the one on the other’s port side or the one astern shall keep clear.
16 CHANGING COURSE
Add new rule 16.3:
16.3 When, at the warning signal, the course to the first mark is ninety degrees or more from the true wind, a right-of-way board shall not change course during the last minute before her starting signal if as a result the other board would need to take immediate action to avoid contact.

Rule 18.2(b) is changed to:
(b) If boards are overlapped when the first of them is about to round or pass the mark, the outside board at that moment shall thereafter give the inside board mark- room. If a board is clear ahead when she is about to round or pass the mark, the board clear astern at that moment shall thereafter give her mark-room.
Rule 18.2(c) is changed to:
(c) When a board is required to give mark-room by rule 18.2(b), she shall continue to do so even if later an overlap is broken or a new overlap begins. However, if the board entitled to mark-room passes head to wind, rule 18.2(b) ceases to apply.
Tacking in the Zone
