baving,
I'd agree with waiting4wind on this one. Put the nose protector (dry) on the board exactly where you want it. Use masking tape to mask the outline of the nose protector on the board. ...

Bazza,
I owned a F186 and it is a great light wind machine. I suspect that "difficult to control" comment has to do with the boxy, sharp rails on that board. If you get that board going in choppy...

Sam,
FWIW, I have the same 8.0, 6.5 sail combination, and I rig them on powerex 75% carbon masts. I think they're all about 2001/2002 vintage. My 8.0 rigs on a 490/IMCS 29, and my 6.5 rigs on a...

newbie impressions
I used the 11'2" UB and the 12'6" Cruiser, side-by-side, for about two hours+ this past weekend. The conditions were flat water (inland lake) and very light breeze. I'm 210 lbs, and I windsurf, but...

Fcs
Okay, maybe a really stupid question, but which way do the FCS fins go? The fins are asymmetric. Flat side toward the centerline or toward the outside rail???

Thanks Roger. My X-186 doesn't have any anti-twist devices. I guess that's the problem. The foot straps that came with this board are sorta soft and don't hold shape well. The front strap twists...

PT screws
Roger,
I sorta remember that you gave a source for footstrap screws. I found a thread where you referred to them as "PT" screws. Do you know where I could get some?
