Thanks guys,

It is clear for me now this stick generally working like mine, it is not a special problem of my one.

I also try to tell myself I do not have to push/pull too hard, but I think sometimes it is not true, and really not safe. This is also not a good think the helmsman have to work on “is it in locked or not”. I think locking/openinng have to be an automatic movement “in my hand”, without thinking about it. I prefer concentrate to the race instead.

Now I have two options,
- My local dealer can change it for a conventional nacra stick for free
- Or I try to learn how to use it. I’m not sure I will be able to...

Paul, about Como,
It is possible to see me there, I hope. However I fell myself really beginner, it is my first year with F18… A Hungarian team raced last year the F18 worlds in NL. They finished in the silver fleet, and they beat me usually, so if I will be there probably I will carry the “End of fleet” table…

I have not found any information about the Europeans 2007 on the web. Could you please drop me a link ?

Thanks,
