After testing in different corners in the world, either racing or training, we have implemented not only important changes, but also introduced new sizes: 9.0, 8.0, 6.9, 5.8 and 4.7.
- The set up of hardware remained with 3cams and 7 battens as all our racing lines.
- There will be 3 different clew eyelets at 5cm apart from each other. The sail best position is the middle eyelet where it will offer stability, acceleration, and a comfortable back hand. The upper clew is giving extra stability and power in light wind and if more upwind courses need to be raced. The lower clew is mainly for survival conditions, where you will have no chance or time to drop down a sail size as it will kill completely the back hand power.
- The boom has been shortened further on all sizes to have lighter sail in the hands and no back hand when powered up. The long luff length offers a light feeling with the new geometry and outline. Simple to jibe, light to pump.
- The luff sleeve has been widened further by 5cm in the small sizes and 7cm in the bigger 2 sizes increasing the forward drive stability and power in light wind. The flow of the sail thanks to this new input has increased and will be one of the first things which will be felt when getting on the foil.
- The batten shapes have been reworked to bring further forward the profile to increase the foil stability and focus more on the race, rather than balancing the energies of the gear. The head of the sail has been made smaller for a lighter feeling and less drag.
- A new negative leach design has been included in the final project from batten 5 to batten 2. Allowing a new faster speed and release in stronger winds, keeping the lower part of the sail positive to generate a powerful acceleration in light wind.
- A cut out is implemented between batten 6 and 5 to allow a faster S-shaping of batten 5 when the gust hits the sail, stabilizing further the profile and acceleration.
- The base has been re-shaped and lowered by over 10cm to allow the maxim gap closure on the board, without disturbing the maneuverability.
