Gary from Ezzy was at Doug's so got to demo a 2010 4.2 Wave Panther. It was the biggest sail he had rigged, so I used it bagged out and with a lot of pumping got it to work OK. I came in, but nobody wanted it, so went out for a second demo run. The wind really jacked up to being fully powered/almost overpowered. I thought about pulling the sail flat but it was really stable and I had gotten used to how the profile felt, so left it as is. Wind good! Sail good! Felt good! Wind died shortly after I came in along with a raft of clouds arriving so felt like I should head east...
