Windsurfing Sail Skyblade Orange 2025 Size 8.0 Loftsails LS060030100

Windsurfing Sail Skyblade Orange 2025 Size 8.0 Loftsails LS060030100

Description:

The Loftsails Skyblade is a high-performance racing sail engineered specifically to maximize speed and control for low-drag hydrofoil rigs. Built with radically high aspect ratios, a lowered foot and reduced vertical shaping, the Skyblade delivers exceptional aerodynamic efficiency and stable flight characteristics through aggressive batten angles and wide mast pockets. Its mast pocket construction uses multiple laminate and woven panels, including a 2-mil quad-axial x-ply plus IYU250 woven material, forming a double-layer stretch-resistance tendon that preserves mast alignment and longevity. The downhaul roller is secured through three layers for even load distribution and a firm, smooth-rotating leading edge—critical for focused race performance and clean gybes. Metallic Cam Interfaces at camber inducer contact points prevent material degradation under high trim tension, while x-ply and bi-ply panels in key areas (window, leech, foot, top) enhance UV resistance and catastrophic-failure protection. Fully PWA-rule compliant, the Skyblade ships with one camber set; the 8.0 size includes the TekCam2 SDM configuration for secure cam operation on standard-diameter masts.

Key Features:

• Purpose-built for hydrofoil racing: high aspect ratio for top speed and efficient flight.
• Wide mast pocket with 2-ply tendon (2-mil quad-axial x-ply + IYU250 woven) for superior stiffness and long-term shape retention.
• Downhaul roller integrated across three layers to evenly distribute load and ensure smooth cam rotation.
• Metallic Cam Interfaces at all camber inducer contact points to prevent wear and extend service life.
• Aggressive batten geometry, lowered foot and reduced vertical shaping for aerodynamic stability and precise control.
• Reinforced x-ply panels in the central window, leech and foot for impact and UV resistance.
• Bi-ply top panels for added catastrophic-failure protection and UV durability.
• Ships with one camber set; sizes ≥6.0 (including this 8.0) come with TekCam2 SDM.
• Designed to PWA racing rules for competitive regattas and professional events.

Recommended Use:

Ideal for advanced and professional windfoil racers and high-performance foil sailors seeking maximum speed and precise control in competitive conditions. Best suited to hydrofoil slalom and racing where reduced drag, quick acceleration into flight and stable gybes are essential. Performs particularly well in open-water and offshore race conditions with moderate to strong winds; pair with a high-aspect foil, a compatible SDM mast and a race-oriented boom for optimal results.
