Duotone Sail Idol LTD

This is also why it took us almost 2 years to develop the next generation of the IDOL LTD. But in the end, it's the biggest update since its introduction in 2014! But let's take things in order:

Ultralight, but without compromising durability

By reducing the panel layout to its functional core and replacing multi-layer with lighter single-layer high-tech reinforcements, we were able to reduce the weight by another 200 g, making the new IDOL LTD one of the lightest freestyle competition sails. Following our LIGHT DONE RIGHT philosophy, we achieved this without any reduction in foil thickness, so there is no loss of durability. Furthermore, we use our practically indestructible epoxy wave battens, which easily withstand even the hardest wipe-outs.

For all other aspects, our unique BATTEN FREE CENTER concept comes into play. Instead of the usual symmetrical batten distribution, the IDOL LTD has a larger gap between the foot batten and the batten above the boom. Due to the larger batten-free zone, the sail loads much more evenly, which has an enormous impact on performance:

- Wider wind range with earlier planing and faster acceleration, as the sail loads faster. In addition, the sail is easier to control as it can absorb chop and has more flex.

- Much easier ducking, as the sail goes neutral but loads much more gently after ducking. This is completely new compared to the usual radical on-off that you are used to from other freestyle competition sails.

- Increased lift for air moves due to super efficient unloading of the profile.

- Helps the sail to remain streamed to maintain stability.

- Lighter feel due to better release.

All of this sounds like we've found the holy grail of freestyle competition sail design. Well, just try it out and see for yourself!
