Hobie Turbo Fin clew tuning.

I haven't had much time behind my installed Turbo fins yet, in fact my buddy John has way more experience than I do, using MY REVO.   

There is a brass tension adjustment knobber used to put variable tension on the NON mast side of each fin.  I only pedaled the Turbo's for about 20 minutes before handing over the Revo to John so I didn't get a change to fiddle with the adjustments, and get a feel for any changes. 

Question....

Which way (tighten/loosen) makes the fins respond in what way?  Also, has anyone set the tension on the front fin different from the rear, or does it even make a noticable difference? 

If i remember correctly the tighter you have them is for more speed and the looser is more torque. I have them tight for speed, never tried them at different adjustments..

If your's where set to tight when I tried them on my Revo, you may want to try them loose. That just happens to be how mine where on Thursday (loose).  I could definetely feel a difference in "GO" factor with mine. Don't know how the top speed was, as I still don't have my GPS installed. 

I remember seeing Revoroy's was loose as well.
