KEY
FEATURES
MODERATE FLAT PROFILE keeping the sail neutral and light during manoeuvres.
SHORT BOOM LENGTH for optimum manoeuvrability.
HIGHER CLEW: for high-cut foot and to help position
the sail during duck or stall maneuvers.
HIGHER DRAFT
DISTRIBUTION helping to control the leech during duck or clew-first moves and to create more lift.
WHAT'S
NEW?
With the shorter boom and longer mast there is reduced roach. That, together with the higher draft in the sail creates a really stable leech and good power for amazing “pop” during jumps and great control during rotation. All with a small head to keep it feeling light.
Pro
Tip
Yegor Popretinsky
For freestyle I set a tight leech and semi tight outhaul to be able to throw the sail around and have power when I need it.

“For maneuvers like duck jibes and jibes all dreams come true with this sail, it’s feathery, agile and neutral.”
