Hi Nils Thanks for the explanation. However if I use the reccomendation of the Ezzy Cross it states: - Foiling requires a flatter sail because you sail closer to the apparent wind. This means you will downhaul and outhaul more when you are rigging for foiling, compared to finsurfing That is quite the opposite. Its a combined sail for fin with regular downhaul and foil with more downhaul Matter of trying and your way of sailing I guess. Absolute racing speed, freeride or fun cruising….

Wow Nils, a brilliant explanation. You might be the first to go into so much detail. Nice.

are u kidding me, i just searched yesterday for exactly a video like this, THX Nils

Much appreciated, thank you! Heading out for the first time on a foil in a few days.

Makes sense! Thank you for the tips!

Clear explanation. Just what I need. I will do the same with my Ezzy Cheetah 7.0 next time foiling

Great tips,thanks a lot

Nice video! I am also using a ac-one 7.1 in foiling. I will try you set-up next time.

Thx great video

Thanks a lot that Video really helped me understanding the difference!!!

glad it helped!

Tnx, very useful.

Thanks for all the info and tips. Manufactures/shops would want to sell you a new full quiver of sails.

I presume the advice works mainly with cambered sails? Becase on non-camber with not enough downhaul it most likely will not rotate.

Hi Nil What changes do you make to the tuning when the wind picks up and you don’t want to change down?

Today ride foil with slalom sail with less downhaul. It works very well, thanks a lot. But the sail became dificult to cam. Worried demage battents

Is there no risk to break some camber batten when you rotate the profile if you rig the sail like this? (which it is surely not designed for in the first place) 🤔

Hi, do you recommend the Duotone E_Pace, as the producer recommended it for fin and foil? Also, what do you think is the ideal size for my board, JP Frefoil 115L, I weigh 80kg and the wind is between 6-10kt? Should I go for 6.2 / 6.6 / 7.3 / 7.8? the foil could be 1300 - 1700cm2

Hello, I own the E_Pace blackberry 6.6m2, i can say that its not the most easy to rig, if you consider buying it, you should really get the exact recommended mast, and i think you will need quite a big foil and sail to windfoil in less than 8 knots being 80kg. i am personnally 65kg and start foiling in 8-10 knots with a 7m and a 1100cm2 foil

Using the F1E for two years now. I can tell you, you do NOT want to have maximum profile. While being hella stable, this slows you down considerably while going upwind or chasing speed records. Good foil sails are still stable while minimizing drag by improving airflow over the sail. For slalom, fin sails are good. For extremely light winds or upwind courses, foil sails are the way to go. Edit: A great indicator for your sail “stalling” (wind does not move through it perfectly) is, when you hear a loud, constant swooosh sound. Also the F1E is far from a perfect foil sail. But you can come close with a good trim.

If you trim your camber sail like that, how is the rotation when jibing?

pretty good on the AC-1, no Problems there

Less downhaul could result in cambers popping of the mast due to camber over-bending

And for a no-cam sail, less downhaul means the battens scratch over the mast much more when shifting the sail. Doesn't that produce more wear and tear on mast and sail?

Hmmmm. On foil sails you want to get the sail really flat with a lot of outhaul tension ... On regular sails it would be the total opposite ? PS : ok get your explanation right after my comm haha PS 2 : that is very short harness lines buddy

yes, it's not ideal, you cannot really get both, I just realized for me it's better to leave low outhaul tension so I don't move the pressure point more to the back!

How tall are you Nils?
