Hi all

I've just returned to windsurfing after a 20 plus year hiatus. I'm keen to get my son into it and we had lessons over a 6 week period.
Got some second hand gear for us and whilst trying to rig a 5.5 metre sail it kept getting twisted around the mast - even with down haul etc- luckily I was at home practicing and didn't look like a muppet at the beach

Any tips - these sails have not seen water for a while so bone dry if that is an issue.
Thanks

Welcome back

Here is a sail rigging video, might not be the same sail type but will give you the general idea

1st tip is to take some photos or video of any issue then we can see.
What is the sail and make of mast?
This will save a lot of time.
