Sukdev you guys have been sailing the Nitro 4 some time now. How about doing a review & comments like the one you did for the hypersonics?

Hi JK,
yes we have pretty thorougly tested out 12.0, 11.0, 10.5, 9.8, 9.3 & 7.6. I've got alot of feedback from Meng, Thye Hock and other users. I'm waiting to test them on Ignition as so far we have used the sails on either Powerex or YES masts, once thats done we will have a reference & will post our findings.
Some findings so far:
- for lightweight sailors, go big but go for softer masts..Thye loves the 9.8 on 490 but can't handle it on 520 esp downwind in strong winds. Changing to softer masts seems to make the sails much easier to handle in the larger sizes for lightweights, though for fatties like me the reverse is true.
- Rigging/tuning has been pretty easy, no gotchas of any kind so far.
- My favorite is turning out to be the 7.6 on the hyper, seems to have a massive wind range starting from the low teens and working up to the high 20s almost. If wind and work time cooperate I'll try the 7.6 and the 9.3 on the Exocet Turboboost75.
