Wow eyelet above the 2nd cam. Interesting. Hope to try it someday

Hallo Ben, heb drie nieuwe Loftsails Racingblade 2023 (7.4,6.6 en 5.8) , maar die hebben de indicatie voor high- en lowwind niet in het zeil zitten ? Is dit feature niet meegenomen in de uiteindelijk productie ?

[@Loftsails]

Hi Kurt. The sail that Ben uses is a proto and the final decision was not to use the double-markers.

[@mauricejanssen3087]

Hi Ben, is there a need for spacers in the 2023 Racingblades?

[@Loftsails]

Usually, the factory sets spacers nicely by default. Do you have any issues with your trim? Do let us know.

Hoi Ben, wat is dat met dat outhaul-oog boven de giek? Is dit een prototype zeil?

[@Loftsails]

Hi Joost! It is indeed a prototype sail. It was exactly like the series but for the eyelet. We actually argued about how quick somebody would spot it:)

[@joostkuijsters8946]

@@Loftsails I personally like to have 3 eyelets and make it possible to set the sail for extreem high winds or light winds. And one in the middle for perfect setting. So you don't have to derig when the wind changed. I thought Avanti has done that?
