Very interesting Klaas!! For me it seems that the pression on the board depends also and more of the angle of the sail than on the boomhight, so a very basic parameter to define would be the distance from the pilot to the sail. Before adjusting mastfoot or footstaps or boomhigt it is necesary to trim the distance from the sail (sailcenter) to the weightcenter of the pilot. What do you think?
