Building a 12 footer

I have found sailing in ultra light wind is all about railing upwind, it's the only way to generate enough resistance from the sail to stay hooked in with your harness because otherwise you are left holding up the rig and that gets tiresome after a short while.
It's actually quite fun and relaxing to be cutting upwind at a very high angle, leaning way forward holding onto the uphaul with your front hand, the rail cutting thru the water like a knife... tack back and forth way upwind then sail home straight downwind. With the correct rail shape and parallel sides you could sink the preferred leeward rail.

Looks like Starboard finally, maybe, woke up and put a real mast track in the 2015 Freeride, at least the center fin version.
