Windsurfing Sail Raceboardblade HW Orange 2023 Size 9.5 Loftsails LS060011020

Description: The Loftsails Raceboardblade HW 9.5 is a purpose-built raceboard sail engineered for speed, stability and tactical control in middle-to-strong wind conditions. Designed in collaboration with top competitors and Loftsails’ chief designer, it uses an optimized panel layout and a tuned profile to deliver high forward drive and stable handling when winds exceed 16 knots. The HW 9.5 employs a multi-batten (7-batten, 3-cam) frame and a mix of durable X-ply panels and monofilm to balance weight, longevity and responsive trim. Updated construction includes a lowered, steeper head batten, a longer luff and a refined luff curve for improved low-wind performance and better twist control. Mast pocket materials are redistributed (more Dacron in the upper section, reduced SU250 lower down) to refine weight distribution without compromising strength. The Raceboardblade HW keeps Loftsails’ trademark trim sensitivity, making it an excellent choice for competitive sailors seeking precise sail feel and race-winning performance.
