ITS CHARACTER
WHAT’S NEW
Less sizes are needed to fill up your windsurfing quiver. There will be no more need for a 6.5. A 6.1 or a 6.9 will cover this range, plus being easier. Introducing 4.0 AC-0 from this year is a great plus to the range especially for women and kids. The sail has been reworked in many details to make it become the new slalom no cam top master piece in Point-7.

FEATURES

• No-cam mast sleeve and no-cambers.
• Easy handling characteristics.
• Probably the lightest seven batten no cam sail on the market.
• Excels even further in over-powered conditions.
• Power and enhanced stability in both low and high wind conditions.
• Locked-in feeling that is only comparable to a cambered sail.
• Winner of many national slalom championships in different categories • Derives from the AC-1 sail body.
The AC-0 is developed to be the fastest no cam sail on the water and has proved itself on many magazine tests, without having a wide mast sleeve and cambers. The high-end performance will give you the high speed that you have always dreamed about, with minimal effort and easy handling characteristics. Probably the lightest seven batten no cam sail on the market, and high-end performance of the sail that excels even further in over-powered conditions. Power and enhanced stability in both low and high wind conditions, combined with a very locked-in feeling that is only comparable to a cambered sail. Its low-cut foot encouraging the rider to lock it into a committed stance.
No need to look twice on the sail sleeve: if you can’t believe that the sail has such a superior performance with no cams, just go for the first jibe, and you will straight away realize that the AC-0 has really no cams! The sail is balanced between both arms and delivers pure slalom performance to the board and fin, to keep the trim on the rail. The sail has the same wind range as a pure race sail, it has an amazing upwind performance for a non-cam sail. A deeper Dacron profile implements a comfortable drive through the jibe. The profile with Dacron layers, absorbs the chop and waves allowing more control and enabling a higher average speed across the waters. Once planing the acceleration, the AC-0 provides is simply another level – it finds another gear with every subsequent gust. It demands being paired with a fast free-race or slalom board – something that has the capacity to keep up with it! When you venture into powered and overpowered conditions, you discover the AC-0’s true personality. The centre of effort is locked firmly in place yet comes from such a high location that it best suits those with an assertive riding style. It helps lift the rider’s stance and push the board’s speed, making it fly on its fin. Carry this speed into the turn and the AC-0 has the balance and handling to reposition easily, the lower luff panel breathing to soften the delivery and provide the extra low- end power to complete the transition efficiently.
Race Results: Winner of many national slalom championships in different categories.
The Point-7 Black Team. A team of professional sailors and designers who have proved themselves by designing the winning PWA tittle sails in Slalom, Waves and Freestyle.
The AC-0 is straightforward to rig, requiring a reasonable amount of force to counter its moderate luff curve and apply the downhaul required, guided by the visual aid in the top panel. It can rig both rdm and sdm mast, but from 6.5 up, the use of the sdm will give a better performance. 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 batten without overtightening them.
Introducing a total 100% ANTI UV-RAY monofilm windsurfing sail
THE MAGAZINES SAY
The fastest slalom sail with no cams ever, without compromise. A magazine test winner for 10 years for its high-end speed and control. 10+ has been its vote in speed. One of the most potent top end engines here, if you have the board and mettle to keep up with it, you simply will not be beaten across the water. A drag racer’s dream. If you want to be the fastest around your local spot and make it look effortless, this sail could be the most coveted prize in your setup.
YOUR REVIEW
First session yesterday with the 6.9 and 107litre board, small wind, around 12 up to 16knts. In these light conditions, the power is amazing, and it is true that I could reach planning even before the AC1 7.1! In the gusts the stability is perfect, and the sail only wants to accelerate
You guys told me that I would love it; you were right! I had old AC-X, AC-Z, AC-1, all in 7m, and this new AC-0 is the best of all! I would say: why cambers anymore?
Thanks a lot for your work and advises!

Hi!!! Just a few words for my customer feelings. I cheer you on if you have achieved that in a high-performance sail
Anyway, my cheers to you!!!
Good winds.

I love this 24 sail, the gap between 2022 and 24 is so huge! AC-X was already great, but this AC0 has a so wide wind range… it is insane! 🤣
In my home spots, as many worlwide I guess, there is the band of top riders blasting at 30knts average, and the others, freeracers with PWA slalom gear, yet cruising at 25knts; I am part of the second ones! Yet it is funny that with the AC0, none of them with their cam race sails can say that I am slower. Since I have this sails, I even updated my rank in our speed ranking of the spot and I am close of the top20 amongst 94 riders. That is great and much more fun!
