Radial Optimist Sails - Speed launch two new designs
by Speed Sails 27 Feb 2006 16:27 GMT
For 2006 Speed Sails are launching two new radial Optimist sails, a flat design for sailors up to 40kgs and a fuller radial sail for heavier helms. Both designs have been tested extensively over the winter with all tweaking & development followed by further testing. The two designs now provide just the right combination of power & height upwind for each weight range without sacrificing downwind speed, while the radial panels provide a more balanced sail as a result of better alignment of the cloths wefts & warps to allow more precise sail control.
Speed Sails are the most successful UK sail makers in the Optimist class and over the years have won the European Championships, National Championships, Inland Championships, World Selection Series, End of Seasons and of course many other open meetings. We are now offering a 15% discount off all our Optimist sails (including the new radial designs) ahead of the Dinghy Exhibition this weekend.
Up to 40kgs:
FX1 Radial Sail: New Radial sail developed for the lighter sailors (up to 40kgs). The radial panels provide a more balanced sail than traditional crosscut sails. Manufactured from 140 balanced Dimension Polyant, this sail was developed, tested & modified extensively over the 2005 / 2006 winter. Usually £320.00 With discount £272.00 (inc VAT)
F1 Crosscut Sail: One of our most successful sails, it is used mainly by lighter sailors. Manufactured from 140 balanced Dimension Polyant, this sail has been consistently used to win UK National Championships. Usually £295.00 With discount £250.00 (inc VAT)
38-45kgs:
FX+ Radial Sail: The FX+ was developed as a more powerful radial sail than the FX1. The sail provides some extra power in the moderate conditions yet still de-powers effectively in the stronger winds. An excellent sail and an ideal radial option for helms in the 38-45kg range. Radial panels provide a more balanced sail and winter testing showed that no height had been compromised for the extra power generated. Usually £320.00 With discount £272.00 (inc VAT)
Over 45kgs:
F2 Crosscut Full Sail: Fuller, more powerful sail designed for sailors above 45kgs. Extra seam shaping provides more power without sacrificing height upwind. Usually £295.00 With discount 250.00 (inc VAT)
All prices include battens, sailbags, sail numbers, class association button and free carriage within the UK. For more information on sails or to discuss which sail best suits your weight requirements, phone the Speed sail loft 01922 455503.
