Could anyone tell me the best way to hold the Sprint 15 still in one place before a start i.e before the one minute flag. Also any updates on the DX sail. I have the origional coloured 1561 sail and I'm a bit fed up with seeing Hobie 16s disappearing over the horizon before I've crossed the start line ( I exagerate, but only a little). I'd rather wait for the DX than buy a new white one as the winds here (Barcelona) are ver light, generally force 2/3.
After spending 2 days driving Brian Phipps around in a rib during one of our Weekws ends at Shanklin, he is the guy to talk to about holding on the line, managed to get some of our chaps to hold for around 3 to 4 minutes on a 30 to 40 meter line, and for for John Shenton thats good.

Hi Chris,
Now that you have wet our appetitite you should share the details. Come on - show us what you learned. Brian will then give you marks out of 10.
