FEATURES
PERFORMANCE BATTEN
SYSTEM: the bottom two battens are rod battens and the rest tube battens for high-end stability and low-end power.
MODERATE TO FULL LUFF CURVE: good sail tension allows the sail to be stable and keeps the draft nicely locked in.
PRONOUNCED DYNAMIC
COMPACT CLEW, helping the twist to be progressive and effective for optimum acceleration, control and top speed.
REDUCED SHAPING IN
FOOT AREA to allow for easy rotation during
transitions and smooth on/off power.
WHAT'S
NEW?
Hellcat now features a 6+1 batten layout. With this extra batten there is an increase in stability helping the Hellcat’s top end performance. The luff curve is more bottom-oriented to compensate for the reduced foot shaping and helps keep the shape forward for optimum acceleration. A pronounced Dynamic Compact Clew improves control and performance.
Pro
Tip
Antoine Albeau
For optimum speed, acceleration and control use the sail with a fairly open leech and not too much outhaul. You will find the sail has good drive that way. If it has too much drive add some outhaul and it will have a little less bite but still be smooth.
