Windsurfing Sail Gold Foil 9.0 XO Sails AR01432

Windsurfing Sail Gold Foil 9.0 XO Sails AR01432

Description: The XO Sails Gold Foil 9.0 is a high-performance foil slalom sail engineered for maximum speed, stability and race-oriented control. Built around XO’s updated foil-specific shape, the 2022 Gold Foil opens more at the top with increased luff round and a lowered leech border to improve aerodynamic balance and flight stability. The sail uses the new Pentex screen material on the sleeve to add flexibilty while delivering a 15–20% weight improvement without compromising strength. Adjusted top-batten angles reduce low-end power slightly but stabilize the sail in peak load, extending usable wind range and reducing drag at high speeds. Minimal drag, precise shape control and reinforced construction make this sail ideal for tight upwind and downwind foil racing demands. Compatible with common SDM foil masts and race foil rigs for straightforward integration into a competitive setup.

Key Features: - Pentex screen material on the sleeve for added flexibility and reduced weight (15–20% lighter vs. prior materials) - Foil-specific outline with increased luff round and lowered border for improved upwind/downwind balance - Reworked top battens to decrease low-end punch and increase stability at max load - Low-drag profile optimized for high-flight foil performance and consistent tracking - Reinforced construction in high-stress areas for enhanced durability under race loads - Extended usable wind range — performs well from medium to strong winds - Smooth handling and responsive shape control for precise trim and maneuvering - Recommended compatibility with SDM foil masts for best performance and fit
