2009 Loft Sails Blade Speed Sail
The Loft Blade is the fruit from four years of research and development- resulting in unique racing designs; accessible high-performance.
Blades are cutting-edge… our exclusive Blade mast pocket construction that results in equalized loading of both mast panel and mast pocket is worked into Blade 09s. As well, Blade 09s include multiple Kevlar loadbearing strips (horizontal and vertical!) which maintain incredible rig stability and rotation ease.
The Blade is cutting-edge upper-end speed with an easy, light feeling. Blades 09 also feature:
-Alternating side Xply batten pockets with triple scrim-strip applications.
-All sizes equipped with 4 Rollercams (with 4 cam spacers), each cam fitted with our metallic cam interface.
-6 tubed battens sizes 5.1 to 6.2, 7 tube battens sizes 6.8 to 8.5, all sizes with two “Super tubes”; 100% carbon battens (first two above the boom batten).
-Soft molded pvc foot edge, foot 2ply and cross-batten protectors.
-Molded thermo-foam mast/board pad with roll-up strap, line pouch, tack handle and uphaul port.
-Stepped x-ply application.
-Sensitip head batten system, water release vents in mast pocket.
-Adjustable outhaul.
Planchemag 2008 race sail tests, Blade 6.8 2008. Headline: "Easy, alive, and terrifically effective."
“For those who are looking for something different, the Loft Blade has a light, manoeuvrable and soft feeling much better than any other sail, all this at the performance level of the best ones."…the heaviest construction of the group with 70% of x-ply. Its originality is that the recommended mast is a 460 RDM. Easy to rig by hands (not difficult to downhaul)… It has a strong “breathing” capacity and transmits a lot of feelings in the hands. Beyond the pleasure to use this sail, it's also a really efficient and complete motor that will give you the best performances when conditions are extreme, for example in choppy waters." Tester's opinion: The most fun race sail on the market.
