Was sagt Loftsails zum Skyblade Foil Race - Slalom 2025 Segel?

The Skyblade sail is an extension of Loftsails racing program, developed to maximize the performance of low-drag hydrofoils. This advanced design is tailored for competitive racing and fully adheres to PWA rules.

The Loftsails Skyblade design objective is top speed and control during flight. It features radically high aspect ratios and notably wide mast pockets, both contributing to balance and comfort in flight mode. The sail also incorporates a lower foot, reduced vertical shaping, and more aggressive batten angles, which enhance aerodynamics and provide the rig with exceptional stability.

The wide mast pockets require firm tension to maintain efficient airflow. Drawing inspiration from the Racingblade fin slalom program, the Skyblade adopts its unique mast pocket construction. Skyblade mast pockets are constructed with multiple laminate & woven panels. A double-layer stretch-resistance zone is formed with 2-mil quad-axial x-ply (a lightweight material that resists folding memory) and IYU250 woven mast pocket material. This integrated 2-ply tendon extends from head to tack just behind the mast and helps the mast pocket maintain its optimal condition over time.

The downhaul roller is attached to three layers: the two mast pocket sides and the mast pane in between. This setup evenly distributes downhaul loading to all three layers, resulting in a firm, clean, smooth-rotating leading edge. Smooth cam rotation is crucial for maintaining focus during races and provides the balance needed for smooth gybes and transitions.

High trim tension and extreme conditions can take a toll on sail performance over time. To counteract this, the Skyblade is equipped with Metallic Cam Interfaces at all camber inducer contact points, preventing material degradation and ensuring long-lasting performance.

Additionally, all Skyblades are manufactured with Loftsails' signature focus on material durability. The central window, leech, and foot feature x-ply panels, while the bi-ply top panels offer exceptional catastrophic failure and UV resistance, ensuring sail longevity.

All new Skyblades come with one camber set. Sizes 5.0 and smaller include TekCam2 RDM, while sizes 6.0 and larger come with TekCam2 SDM.

Was spricht für das Foil Segel?

• Extra Wide Mast Pocket: Efficient aerodynamic shape of the windward profile.
• High Aspect: Precise control over the hydrofoil at high speeds
