This new sail is going to be fun to play with and learn how to setup just right. After one sail, I see that some rigging modifications are in order. I will need to lengthen the control lines for the vang and outhaul. Most importantly, I'll need a bit more purchase on the cunningham which seems to be the major shape knob for this kind of rig. That's just like the old windsurfing days, too. Pull on lots of cunningham to bend the mast and make the leech just floppy enough.

Hey David, that is a really cool bit of video on the Megabyte!! NOt sure I quite understand the marine jargon though ---- Vangs and outhauls and cunninghams?! Anyhow, I'm sure you'll get it all figured out before the BIG RACE DAY!!! Good luck on that!
Love, Mum
We enjoyed our time with you and your family at Huntington. We saw your first race and look forward to the results of the others.
I'm somewhat with your mom. Some of the jargon is different to me, but just those few moments I got to spend with you was great. Just to hear you chat with your Megabyte friends left a refreshing impression on sailing for me.
Best to you in your future races.
God's blessings to you and your family.

Still enjoying your megabyte? I am in the bay area and in the market for a used one...
Hah! That was a long time ago. I really enjoyed my Megabyte, but the local fleet kind of fell apart.
