I bought these not for their performance but because I do not believe in spending $’000s on a quiver that is made of stretchy ripstop nylon. All sailors will attest to the awful longevity of spinnakers.
The monofilm material was lighter than I had expected but has stood up to abuse well.
The cut of the wing delivers insane power – it feels like being attached to a high torque electric winch! Friends have described the power as a herd of wild mustangs.
Full carbon boom as standard, Fully battened canopy and a lightweight airframe.
The thing that has amazed me with these is their range, There are days that have started on the 6m and the wind has picked up above 20kn and they are really manageable when others would be overpowered. Well mannered flagging out and easy to handle in manoeuvres.
Time will tell on the longevity (my main driver to buy these) but the pricing is great, the view is 360 and they pull like a train.
