My preferred setups: std - bl race, mid - bl race, f/v - 3 wrap, x/v - gr race, sul - diamonds. These pretty much stay this way, as I like this as my solo setup. Will use a 3 wrap in the std and mid if team does too. We like having matched gear so everyone pretty much responds the same. -

I usually "drop down" a sail or sometimes two when flying in tough/wet conditions. Going from a Full sail to an SUL to a Zen to just plain going home. I will fly in tough conditions but generally don't set-up at all if it's a steady downpour. If the weather changes whilst I'm there, then I usually stay. When possible always fly a polyester sail in wet conditions, so at least the fabric doesn't absorb water weight. Lam Hoac used to intentionally wet down a nylon sail in high winds to slow it down, he also ran bridle line thru the inside of the leading edge to pre-tension and add curvature to the leading edge too (back before they were constructed that way) 50# lines will stick together thru water adhesion in high moisture environments, particularly in low wind conditions where the sail isn't powerful enough to snap 'em apart once flight is achieved. -
