Just ordered this board for my light wind machine. I will sail with my 9.0 Retro to start and the standard 64 Fin. Eventually, will get a 11.0 Retro. What are the suggested mast track and footstrap positions for 75kg/165lb sailor for early planning and speed? I generally like my straps out and back. I realize I will need to experiment with settings. Any other tips would be appreciated to maximize performance. Thanks.

i found for 10.5 and above the track needs to be close to the front, maybe 1 or 2cm max from the front. For the 9.0 about half way and maybe a little back of halfway for max speed.
As for straps a little more difficult to comment, depends on your height and sailing stance + i had to spread the straps since i found them a little narrow for my feet.
You will want to think about a good 70cm fin for the 11
