Lots of good tips
Edit: couple of Euro f bombs if you are at work. Also, he goes really far back on the mast base - it's not even remotely possible on most boards to go that far back. However, his point is correct. That's a reason that I struggled for so long on my old Freeformula. The furthest back on the track on that board was barely far enough back. I had to yank the board out of the water which led to some spectacular crashes before I had a clue to push the mast as far back as I dared. Now, most of my foils are about 105-112 from the front screw but I'll try going further back with the smaller sails.
