1 TRIM GUIDE

3 WELCOME The brand name which originates from the Windsurf Racing scene. The first sailor across the finish line would receive 0.7 points. This being the score the winner obtains when he or she wins a single race at a windsurfing event. Second place would then get a score of 2 points, 3 points for third and so forth. At the end of the event, each race-score of each sailor would be added up and whoever would have the lowest score would then be named winner of the event. It has often been that little Point-7 difference that has decided the winner of important titles. That small difference is also what defines our products. We believe in competition we believe in a strong Black Team to show this.

5 THE SAIL Welcome to the fast high performance slalom no cam Point-7. You have just received a true slalom sail with the only difference that you will not need cams to be the fastest on the water! Developed by our Point-7 PWA BLACK TEAM focusing on the high-end performance that you have always dreamed about, with minimal effort and easy handling characteristics. Available sizes: 5,2 / 5,8 / 6,5 / 7,0 / 7,5 / 8,0-8,5 / 9,0 Also recommended for this product: MAST BOOM C100+ SDM (5,2 / 5,8 RDM) SC+ CARBON C80+ SDM (5,2 / 5,8 RDM) AL+PRO C60 SDM (5,2 / 5,8 RDM) ACCESSORIES ADJUSTABLE OUTHAUL VARIO HARNESS LINES WAVE HARNESSSEAT HARNESS EXTENSION EXTENSION SDM (5,2 / 5,8 RDM)

6 MAST Both Rdm and Sdm masts can be used on sizes from 6.5 to 9.5. The 5.8 and 5.2 can only be rigged on rdm masts. The sail could work on every sdm or rdm mast accordingly, but if you want to have the sail to work at 100% of its efficiency, a Point-7 mast is the recommended choice. QUICK EXTENSION TUNING These are the real scale length you extension needs to be. So place your extension next to the triangles. One of the triangles shows the position of the top part of the pulley system of the extension, the other triangle the position of the top part of the ring setting of the extension. This is the most accurate way to get the perfect length to set your extension. The ACX can be tuned for power, only by adjusting the outhaul.

7 BATTEN PROFILE Before rigging the first time put some tension on batten 1, 6 & 7. The tension key is stored in the mesh pocket in the tack fairing. Use the same pocket to insert the rest of the downhaul rope after downhauling the sail. Do not leave the tension key in the pocket or it will rust. Batten 2 to 5 need to have just enough to remove some wrinkles. The profile of the battens should be only at the front and straight flat exit. To check this stand behind the batten tensioner and look from that point. In the next page, there will be the exact downhaul tension pattern of the leach. You can adjust the fine-tuning also with the batten tension. More pressure and the batten rises. Less pressure then the batten lowers. So you can micro adjust with this the leach positioning. battent 2,3,4,5 battent 1,6 and 7

8 DOWNHAUL The Pro Tuning Design is the perfect extension length for the average downhaul setting for your sail. You can pull 1-2 cm extra or less either side of this. The Leech of the sail should fall away as the graphics above dictate. This panel needs to get loose, 25 cm from the first vertical line of stitching as shown on the diagram. After finishing to downhaul you can stow the rope in the mesh pocket located on the inside of the tack fairing, located at the bottom of the luff pocket. The Pro Tuning Design positioning is calculated to be correct for when the sail is brand new. If you feel that you would like the sail to feel lighter in your hands after some sessions, as the sail stretches, try to add one position to the extension, you will automatically pull two cm more, and decide if you prefer it with that extra downhaul. LOOSE AREA

9 CLEW POSITIONING There are two positions. Use top clew grommet [A] for more power, and lower one [B] for less power in the sail. The top setting [A] is used mainly in light wind and half wind. The lower setting [B] for stronger wind and downwind performance. A B

10 OUTHAUL Point-7 ACX requires neutral outhaul in light wind and +2cm positive in strong wind. With the sail fully downhauled, and the front of the boom connected to the mast, without pulling on the clew, the back of the boom should be 4cm away from the clew [X] to [B]. For the light wind setting, leave 2cm from the end of the boom [A]. If you are over powered you can pull the tension to the max. boom [B]. X A B

11 TWIST If you have a P7 extension follow exactly what is written on the extension. Next step take the sail from the back end of the boom up from the ground to lift up the leach. Check that the leach has the patter as shown in the diagram. If it looks like that, the tension of the outhaul is correct. Batten 1 is the top batten of the sail. Batten being 7 is the lowest batten of the base. Batten 1 stays higher than 2. Batten 3 and 4 should be also in line descending. If some batten is staying not inline as in the drawing, but higher, then more downhaul is needed. If a batten is not staying in line, but lower, it means there is too much downhaul. TOP BASE

12 HINTS Rinse your sail after sailing on salty waters. Problem Soving, hints and tips. Your sail feels heavy put more downhaul. Your sail feels unstable release outhaul, then if not enough release downhaul. Sail feels underpowered release outhaul. Sail feels overpowered: pull more outhaul. Sail feels heavy on your front hand move harness lines forward Sail feels heavy on your back hand move harness lines back. Why do some sails use a short mast and longer extension? The sail will feel lighter in handling. The softer mast will better absorb chop and waves for more control in stronger winds. In light wind, the rig will feel lighter to pump to get on plane.
