  • Very innovative. I wish I knew about this when I was at the Worlds in Medemblik, Holland in 1979. It blew like hell most of the time, but in the middle of a couple of races the Gust Adjust would have been a handy thing to have when the wind dipped under 20.

  • I put a plastic cleat on the mast & secure it with a ss hose clamp. You can then adjust the height of the cleat, or remove it anytime you want--No drilling into the mast! However,you'll need a cleat that has a full base with an opening large enough to accept a hose clamp

  • This looks really interesting. May I suggest a follow-up video on exactly how to work it and the effect on the sail--for those of us new to this, you know?

    Also, a link in the description to a website with diagrams would be helpful.
