4 BATTEN WAVE++ BOOSTThis sail was conceived, designed, built, tested and refined for wavesailing. We paid particular attention to its rotation axis, wanting it to be quick in the hands, we did this by making it higher aspect, which allows the sail to be sheeted in, sheeted out or oversheeted very easily, perfect for tight turns on the face.We also concentrated on the spanwise camber distribution and its dynamic interaction with the twist profile. The sail can be set up moderately full at the second batten under minimal downhaul and sailed full power but with control. We have achieved this through a complex layout of thread orientation in the panels- put simply the sail actively changes shape through designed "give". Of course you can also set the sail up with more normal levels of downhaul, which pre-loads the spring effect of the structural fibres to a greater degree. Its built to last from high end fabrics NOT cheap x-plys. The State-of-the-Art Click here for Photos
