I have just got a tales with speed sails and wondered if anyone had a tuning guide for 2003 sails with ss mast. I have e-mailed speed sails twice but got no answer yet. Marine industry!!!!

Yeah

Get out on the water! If ya pass another Merlin and it looks crap but is fast then dont touch it! Suck it and see, thats part of the fun. Knowing all the settings might work for one person but not another.If ya sailmaker doesnt reply to ya emails ditch them,find another .There are plenty of sailmakers who can help and give  good guidance.

The article you want is the one in the current issue of the mag written by the chairman.  You should get this when you join the class association.  It will help a lot to go with boat to a club with an active fleet and compare settings with a well-sorted boat.  Didn't the last owner pass on any wisdom?  Also try Dick Batt's on-line tuning guide, link below.
