Point 7 Windsurf Segel F1X Foil Slalom No Cam 2023 – 5,9

Sail Areas

1. 7 battens, soft Dacron to allow profile to fill in and give power in the light wind foil conditions.

2. A batten set up, to flatten out profile where not needed one all the way to the exiting edge for taking out power not needed on the foil and delete any drag.

3. High aspect Outline.

4. Shorter lower base cut to fit fast jibing on a foil board and to close the gap while flying.

5. Short boom for control, no clew cut out.

6. Small winglet head for efficient aerodynamics and light feel.

Development Target: Designed to have the latest performance of foiling, taken from the cam version of our F1SL line, but implementing all the special ingredients of our famous AC-X slalom no cam. Available in 3 sizes, 5.9, 6.9 and 7.9. Meeting the needs of a drag less no cam sail to blast on fast free-race or slalom foils.

Its character on land: Till you don’t get close, you won’t realize that it’s a no cam sail. The looks, the outline is pure racing foil series pedigree. It’s a fast foil sail just from looking at it! All the characteristics to enjoy fast session on the foil are integrated into the soft Dacron profile on the luff line of the sail. A batten set up, to flatten out profile on the exit of the sail to delete the back hand when powered. The outline is high aspect, having a shorter boom and a long luff. The base is cut low to offer a perfect close the gap, but not too wide to fit fast jibing.

Its character on water: STABILITY! Leaving the beach, the sail will totally feel light in your hands. Crank up the throttle and see how you will only feel the foil on the water as the sail will feel like it disappears in your hands. It’s what is called stability! The F1x allows us to focus on the pressure on the foil and enjoy the high speeds, eliminating control issues and annoying backhand. Without any cams the fun is granted in the jibes! Easy handling, easy light uphauling, great for light wind days and first steps on the foil.

Development Target: Foil is just another sport to Fin sailing. If you get addicted to it, you will want to find the same sail range set up as on the fin. So, if you sailed till now on no cam fast slalom sails, and you want to discover the same type of sail in foiling, the F1x is just the obvious choice.

Rigging: The F1x is straightforward to rig, requiring a reasonable amount of force to counter its moderate luff curve and apply the downhaul required, guided by the visual aid in the top panel. It can rig both rdm and sdm mast, but for the 2 bigger sizes, the use of the sdm will give a better performance. Playing with the outhaul will boost up power or increase control. Tighten the lower 2-battens and the top batten, but just remove wrinkles on the other batten without overtightening them. The lower the clew eyelet choice, the less backhand the sail will deliver.
