1. 2010 Sail News
I have enclosed drawings and prices for our 2010 sail lines. The new sails are just beginning to go into production and we anticipate the first deliveries to ship Mid to end of November.
What's new?
Lighter Feel:
The 2010 sails have a lighter feel than the 2009 sails. This is noticeable while wave riding, jibing and basic sail handling.
New TriLite Cloth:
All sail lines utilize our new TriLite sail cloth. It is called TriLite because it consists of film, woven scrim, and X ply. A significant weight savings come from the Trilite's thinner film; 37.5 microns, compared to 100 micron film used in our Spectra X ply. The woven scrim combined with the X ply provides excellent tear strength. The overall weight of the TriLite is 40% less than our Spectra X ply.
Improved durability:
We are using a stronger Dacron cover on the battens, which has improved scuff resistance when rigging on asphalt or gravel.
Mesh pocket in pad for downhaul line:
Makes rigging faster. After downhauling, just roll up your line and shove it in the mesh pocket.
New 9.5 Freeride:
We have added a 9.5 Freeride for super light wind sailing.
The 2010 mast and boom specs. are the same as 2009 (see attached).
