The aluminum stick is very adjustable with the down haul. I think the carbon is too stiff really.



Lets chalk this one down as another example of where a better design wins out over the choice of material. Again we find that carbon is no miracle cloth. Even with the limited testing so far the conclusion can be made that the difference is to small to be obvious or to really matter.

It is good to see that another class then "the class we all love to hate" is proving this to be true. Saves a bundle in purchasing costs; this can only be an improvement for the cat sailing scene !
