ZERO-CAM FREERACE

OXYGEN HD erst ab Oktober 2017!

Sizes:  4.6 5.3 5.8 6.3 6.8 7.3 7.8 8.5 9.5

One of the most test-winning sails of all time, the Oxygen is a progressive slalom high-performance rig in an easy, camfree
package. Since its inception in 2000 as the O2 at the start of the Loftsails’ brand the Oxygen has won 15 leading
magazine equipment tests.
Take your board to its limits - easy, light, powerful, proven performance. Freeriding has never been so fast and free.
For 2018 Loftsails introduces two Oxygens:
OXYGEN HD blue: ultimate longevity and reduced weight- full xply: 5-mil biaxial luff and foot panels, 4-mil biax window
panels,
and 3.5-mil biax body panels.
OXYGEN orange: 5-mil biaxial luff and foot panels, 5-mil mono window and 4- mil bi-ply body panels.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Established top/shelf freeride design... no compromise.
• Full tubed batten systems - no compromise to the upper end.
• Dual clew eyelets with webbings – adjust your leech-release character to suit your sailing conditions.
• Cross batten with leech extension batten and inset clew – connects the boom to the batten structure and promotes lower
leech twist for upper-end ease.

SLALOM UNLIMITED

Sizes : 5.0 5.6 6.3 7.0 7.8 8.6 9.2 9.6

Excess Speed Guaranteed. Loftsails 2017 Racingblade has several subtle modifications that add up to an extra gear in your slalom performance.

Planche Mag (FRA) awarded the Racingblade 2016 with a 10+ for maximum speed that proves its capability versus rivals. For 2017 the Racingblade has been redesigned with seam curve profiles that shift deeper profiles around the boom area that push in greater low-end power and added acceleration. The new 2017 designs are also more reactive to trim variation. Additionally the 2017 construction places 7-mm. monofilm into the upper rear mast panels (inside the mast pocket) that limits luff elongation to the upper forward sections of the sail. This provides stability and delivers superior performance, especially in maxed conditions.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Internal vertical and horizontal Kevlar strip applications at cams – Maintain stability and define shape profiles
Racingblade mast-pocket construction features mast panel and 2-mm. Triax mast-pocket sides (3 layers) that are tensioned directly (all 3 layers under tack pulley webbings) – Therefore downhaul tension is equalized between the mast panel and the mast pocket, resulting in the Racingblade’s firm, clean, easy-rotating leading edge
Blade mast-pocket construction – Equalized loading between the mast panel (interior) and the pocket (exterior) – The result is tensioned, firm mast pockets, exceptional durability, rotation ease
4-mm.
Dimension Polyant monofilm body panels – proven superior performance
Tubed battens with varying carbon content according to performance. The top 3 are specialized 100% carbon tubes – Carbon tubes deliver superior stiffness to maximize stability for your upper end
Slick Tekcam2 rotation. (Tekcam2 Large for SDM also supplied) – Easy cam rotation makes your windsurfing experience more enjoyable.
Metallic cam interfaces – MCIs eliminate contact point degradation characteristic of cam designs without MCIs
Centered battens in X-Ply sleeves. (Alternate pocket sides) – Using similar material for the batten pocket as the body material minimizes asymmetric character of Dacron batten pocket construction that, due to Dacron stretch, allows the batten to stay on the sail side. Pockets made with laminate pockets force the batten to stay centered. This is important to keep the sail symmetrical.  –  If all batten pockets are Dacron, and mounted on the same side of the sail –  the sail will be biased to one tack and rotate unevenly. Loftsails X-Ply batten pockets that alternate sides limit asymmetric character.  
Streamlined neoprene boom cutout with dual zippers – limits water entry into the mast sleeve during falls, keeping the rig light for a fast recovery
RDM/SDM compatible – Both mast types fully compatible to maximize your windsurfing experience.
7-mm. monofilm vertical internal panel (inside mast-pocket) – For profile stability

NO-COMPROMISE SPEEDSAILING

Sizes: 4.6 5.1 5.6 6.1

Loftsails SpeedBlades have consistently logged official 50-knot + speeds, winning events such as the prestigious Luderitz-Canal challenge in Namibia. SpeedBlades are not just for heavyweights either. They’re super efficient and comfortable across a range of wind conditions and proven to enhance lighter riders speeds-per-kilo-of-bodyweight. Speedsailing legend Erik Beale, Loftsails Speed Team and Speed Product Manager, reports that the 2017 models also excel on both tighter courses as well as on deep, downwind strips. Acceleration and momentum are second to none, plus the huge tuning band, wind range and RDM/SDM compatibility options make for a compelling, versatile weapon to smash your PB into a new level.
