An excellent option agains pure race sail for succeful results on race courses or simply blasting.

It has become the best racing seller sail from Point-7 as more national riders started understanding the advantages of an easier racing sail if not being ‘proper’ fit. Having an amazing performance with a mid size leach and 3 cams, the AC-Kpro deserved to be upgraded to AC-1pro. Following the development of what we now call AC-1 LTD, the AC-1 pro will once again make your eyes widen up once closing that gap.

1. Take all the goodies from a full-on competition slalom sail, reduce its mast sleeve, and shallow a little the profile. This is the AC-1pro. Featuring a medium sized luff pocket, a sweet smooth rotating 3-cam set-up combined with a lot of low-end power to get planing nice and early. The AC-1pro is a high-speed powerhouse that is easy to handle and sits ridiculously light in your hands, keeping the board at a steady hover above the water to give you the best possible control and speed out of your kit. The AC-1pro is an incredibly fast sail to use, flattering even the nervous rider with a blistering performance.
   Early planning to overpowered conditions. Going fast was never so easy! Slicing through the air, it is effortless to cover ground on and whilst rapid on all points of sail, seemed to point beautifully close to the wind.

It’s not about free-racing it’s nothing less than pure acceleration, speed, and control. This is what is experienced as soon as you close the gap of the AC-1pro. The power is balanced between both arms and the sail keeps accelerating without having to pull or work with your arms. Just relax them and let your body weight sit comfortable on the balanced profile from the sail. The light feels and easy rotation of the sail, will let you enjoy and execute perfect fast jibing without having to lose energy and power. As the wind picks up the sail becomes lighter, more fun and will not demand to switch to a smaller sail so easily. The center of effort is low, focused on the rider and providing feedback through both hands. It is just so balanced and requires little technical input or energy expenditure from the pilot, enabling them to prolong their drag-racing sessions.

Creating a race sail which would allow the rider to save more energy and spend more hours on the water. A full race sail has power which is only needed by heavy PWA riders to accelerate with loads of drive out of a jibe, or for full downwind courses, which are trajectories that are done only on some radical race PWA courses. The AC-1prois a pure race sail to have fun, without going on too depowered simple 3 or 2 cam sails for free-racing.

The AC-1pro needs to have the mast inserted on top of the cams. After pulling downhaul to 15cm of its final setting you can either put on the boom, and later slide in the cams before putting the final downhaul on, or place the cams on with the right technique, pulling on the full downhaul, and later putting the boom on. You will find more instructions and video on the support section on our website. Playing with the outhaul will boost up power or increase control. Tighten the lower 2 battens and the top batten, but just remove wrinkles on the other battens, without overtightening them.
