Windsurfing Sail Raceboardblade ULW II Orange 2024-25 Size 9.5 Loftsails LS060011019

Description:

The Loftsails Raceboardblade ULW II 9.5 is a purpose-built raceboard sail engineered for lake and light-wind racing where sensitivity and pumpability matter most. This 5-batten (3-cam) ULW II design builds on proven raceboard geometry to deliver enhanced profile stability, improved upwind and downwind drive, and quicker pumping response in sub-16 knot conditions. Construction uses X-ply reinforced panels (the former monofilm window area has been enlarged and upgraded to X-ply for greater durability) combined with a tuned mast pocket that redistributes Dacron and SU250 for optimized weight balance. Design refinements — a lowered, steeper head batten, longer luff and new luff curve — firm the twist and stabilize the profile in ultra-low winds without adding unnecessary weight. The result is a lightweight, race-oriented sail with exceptional trim sensitivity that gives racers fine control over power and balance. Compatible with standard raceboard masts and booms, the ULW II is ideal as the light-wind entry in a competitive raceboard quiver.

Key Features:

• 5-batten, 3-cam ULW II configuration optimized for light-wind lake racing
• X-ply reinforced panels (replacing traditional monofilm window) for improved durability and longevity
• Enlarged main window area for better visibility without compromising strength
• Lowered, steeper head batten plus longer luff and refined luff curve for firmer twist and superior low-wind performance
• Redistributed mast pocket materials: more Dacron in the upper pocket, reduced SU250 lower — optimized weight distribution and handling
• Enhanced pumping response for quick acceleration out of lulls and on reach/downwind legs
• Exceptional trim sensitivity for precise tuning on race courses
• Designed in collaboration with top Raceboard competitors and Loftsails chief designer for proven race performance
• Available in complementary sizes (7.5 / 8.5 / 9.5) to suit varying sailor weight and conditions
