DUOTONE SUPER HERO FULL REVIEW Feat. Nik Baker { Tech Talk }

[@windsurf888]

I like Nik's views on down- and outhaul. As a non-native English speaker I was most entertained by the accent: cells, south, sounds... even the subtitles are unsure when Nik talks sails ;)

Really useful content thanks guys! Nice to meet you too Lucas just the other day :)

Very nice content with britains alltime greatest windsurfer. Even criticising his own brands trim markers, that´s very good. I myself have also found vts being incorrect on super hero and hero sails, like they are put in place for lightweight windsurfers who use their sails in underpowered wind strength settings, like Klaas Voget with just 70kilos. And even better, he totally rejects the incoreect outhoul setting method of pushing sail against boom close to boomend, always wondered how this should work, plain nonsense. But he should have shown how he does it, just going be feel of power while sailing and reudjust after short sail, or does he have some measures while rigging, like battenrotation around mast at lowest batten or batten above boom. Even though batten tension is preset with duotone sails, maybe show what correct means in detail, just give an example. Otherwise good work.

What's VTS? Is the "draft point" the same thing as the centre of pressure? What's the downhaul displacement of "a click"? Nice video!

[@billyinwaves]

VTS is the visual trim system. The draft point ought be the deepest point in the sail. The centre of pressure should be the same as the centre of pull, which is not usually the same as the deepest point in the sail. But we may be quibbling over Nik's use of words here.
