If your intention is to belittle me.. do it accurately beamish.. because IMO you are only making yourself look even more foolish by being inaccurate

IMO ..the best information to assist Windsurfer was recently posted by Scooby.. Im reposting it because it may be missed because of off topic rubbish

I don’t think anyone has been out of order to this thread the gurnard is starting the fact and I myself have had the same boat and set up almost the same as the gurnard I think it’s time to put this to bed and we except your apology for the wrong information and look forward to future post from all HH

Ok so I missed the bit where you said you went up another 10mm after your initial 5% ish gain from the first lift.
However I still think between chipco having a pop at limecc & you accusing folk of "boat bollocks" talk you spoiled what could have been a good informative thread on how to make your little boat go faster.
