Sail Setup Cambers

Please study the following rigging information carefully so you can get the best performance and most fun out of your new Goya Windsurfing sail. It is recommended that you rig to the basic specs given for each sail as a starting point. Optimal tuning is unique for every rider, so please take the time to experiment with different settings and try them on the water to find the sail trim settings that are right for you. Re-tune your settings after you use your equipment for the first time, as materials will stretch slightly. Re-check your outhaul whenever your downhaul setting is changed. Always have at least 1 cm of outhaul tension.

Rigging

1. Unroll sail starboard side up (mast sleevzze on the right).

2. Open zippers.

3. Insert mast above the cambers (sail facing starbord side up) and all the way in to the top of the mast sleeve.

4. Downhaul the sail until the slack is pulled out of the luff/mast sleeve.

5. Attach boom front, preferably at sailing height.

6. Outhaul to spec.

7. Pop cams on to the mast by pushing down on the sail body with one hand and using your other hand to push directly in the cam from the front, seating it up and on to the mast.

8. Close the zippers.

9. Downhaul to spec.

Control the power in the sail with the outhaul setting. More outhaul makes a flatter profile better for lighter riders or stronger wind, less outhaul makes a fuller profile, better for heavier riders or lighter wind.

De-Rigging

1. Release outhaul completely.

2. Open zippers.

3. Take the boom off.

4. Slowly and carefully release the downhaul allowing the cams to pop off the mast on their own. Make sure the zippers are open. Remove base extension completely from the mast. If a cam stays on the mast through this process, gently help it off the mast by hand inside the open zipper slot.

5. Slide mast out completely.

6. Roll the sail from top to tack, securing the roll closed with sail wrapper installed on the sleeve bottom edge.

Fine Tuning

The Mark 2 Pro is compatible with both RDM and SDM masts through the provided “Reduced” and “Large” cambers. Just install “Reduced” for RDM, and “Large” for SDM masts. We recommend the use of a Goya Windsurfing mast for optimal performance.

The Mark 2 Pro is also equipped with optional spacers meant to tune the sleeve tension at the cambers. Smaller diameter masts, or masts with different luff curves than Goya Windsurfing masts could create looseness in the sleeve, at the camber. In case of excess looseness, install one spacer at a time between the camber and the stainless steel sail front edge bumper to remove some of the looseness in the sleeve.

Please note that the sleeve tension front to back should be slightly loose, this will allow proper shape and easy rotation. A sleeve that is too tight around the mast at the cams will be difficult to rotate.
