Overview
A year of development with Bjoern Dunkerbeck and the design team has resulted in a totally new sail. Endless hours of testing and analysing data are now reflected in this pro slalom sail range.
New for 2010
- The XL Cam further increases the foil stability at the leading edge of the sail. It creates a new foil entry profile which the whole sleeve philosophy is built around. It encourages smooth rotation and spreads the higher skin tension out over a larger surface area increasing the stability on the mast and reducing any cam wear.
- In the past, twist has always been confined to the upper leech. For 2010, twist and flex has been engineered for a more active exhaust. This has been achieved using the new Reflex Batten Tensioner which isolates where the sail demands depth and encourages a unique twist and flex pattern where the sail breathes as one cohesive foil in a variety of conditions.
- Reduced Aspect Ratios resulting in -
- Reduced down force in larger sizes for a lighter feeling and superior speed
- Decreased batten spread for better foil stability
- Bringing the power down closer to the rider for more control
- Large Dropped Clew to enhance boom stiffness and increase lower leech efficiency with better twist and flex.
- Stabilizer Panel Technology designed to hold the 3D shaping in this crtical area, reducing the vertical stretch of the sail and producing a more stable foil shape when the sail is under load.
- Phase 3 Batten Technology with size specific batten tapers
- Integrated Looped Outhaul for ease of rigging with or without an adjustable outhaul system.
- Neoprene Boom Fairing increases aerodynamics and helps to limit water entering the luff for easier uphauling and waterstarting.
