LEFEBVRE SAILS - RACE PRO 9.5, 8.5 AND 7.5 - 2011 RACEBOARD SAIL SERIE

"Competitive performance is it your priority? - Lefebvre's Race Pro is a sail designed for racing with longboard or hybrid boards.

Its hollow and constant profile allows upwind at an optimum. The closed leech contributes to efficient pumping and early planing. With its 7 carbon battens, it is a nervous sail in the lightwind and medium conditions. Its very stable profile ensures a wide operating usage.

Race Pro is equipped with 4 roller cams that facilitate the transition from one tack to another. All cams are positioned 90 degrees to the mast. The rotation is mastered and the transition is smooth.

Race Pro is lightweight (5.5 kg for the 9.5) which facilitates pumping and maneuver. Reinforcements have been optimized to be sturdy and durable. When all these issues under control, success on the water is guaranteed. That's what makes the Pro Race a racing sail reference."

BARRACOUTA SAILS- CUSTOM RACEBOARD SAILS

"Barracouta Sails - started building sailboard sails in 1980 with the first Australian titles won in 1988 and many races won since then.

Barracouta Sails custom makes these sails bearing in mind the sailors weight, board type, mast and boom. Colours can be custom ordered.

The sails have been designed with weight in mind, with the use of lightweight Kevlars in the body of the sail and stiff Kevlar laminates in the leech area.

The sails are supplied with two sets of battens. A soft set for light airs and a stiff set for windier conditions.

With 4 cambers in the sail, this will give pumping ability and upwind performance, while keeping the draft stable."

LOFT SAILS - BLADE RB 9.5 - 2011 RACEBOARD SAIL

"The Loft Blade RB… course racing made easy

Courseboard racing (longboards with centerboards) need specific designs that drive upwind in displacement mode, then blast downwind in full planing mode- with the mastfoot moved to the rear of the mast track.

Spindler raceboard designs are extremely well established in the competitive longboard racing scene. The Loft Blade RB (Race Board) is dedicated to raceboard competition… full curves push in low-end power, trim reactivity allows the RB to streamline for upper-end ease. The Loft Blade RB is course racing made easy.

AHD - TACTIK SAILBOARD

“Back to a lost future in search of that forgotten wind-range

Concept, development and shape: Bruno André /Pascal Gerber

Target - Fill the 0-15 knots / less than 8 m/s, days with the super-glide (and excitement) of a sailboard and later, who knows, create a simple and all-round class.

Customers - The summer-holidays sailors who already know how to windsurf, those who want to sail on lakes, and lovers of course-racing.

Why does not this already exist - Very technical sailboards have already existed 20 years ago, and they were shining in light air.
