Thanks for the advice guys, its all greatly appreciated, so if theres any more, even if it seems trivial/obvious, please keep it coming, even if its something i already know, its good to get it confirmed by other sailors. What about mast rotation upwind in the light stuff, and also when flying the kite downwind, is it (rotation) always let off regardless of the wind conditions?

Heres the link to that article about what Greg Goodall said about the Viper's luff tension (which from what i believe is a very similar designed spinnaker to mine, from what greg told me when i speaking to him about my spinnaker, it would be very similar to the viper design, just smaller), so if anyone can add any extra comments on what greg said, that would be great, as i said early, i dont fully understand the impacts of luff tension on spinnaker shape just yet.
There was another article as well, but i cant find it at the moment.
