Great conditions for this equipment. The 77 proves to be an exeptionally early planer and the rig suits the board fine. For a racing sail, the handling is very easy. To which extent this is influenced by the Team Edition mast, i can only guess. Still looking for the optimal settings for the rig though. As for my latest Racing Blades, i chose not to buy the North Sails Power XT mast extensions for being too fragile, it took considerably more time to alter the downhaul every time. Instead of doing this on the water as with the XTR and XTi extensions, i had to go back to the beach, get the trim-tool and gain more downhaul. As soon as North has a decent XT-extension for racing sails, i'll be the first to obtain them.
