Windsurfing sails

Freerace & Race

- The GA Sails Matrix is a sporty, camberless freerace/freeride sail designed for riding comfort, control and easy trimming.  
- A new cut, panel layout and optional Technora membrane material offer a stable profile, minimal flutter, good top speed and effortless sailing.  
- Strengths according to the test: riding comfort, manoeuvrability and speed in the upper wind range; no weaknesses; UV-resistant coloured monofilm as a special feature.

No Cam 2026 freeride sail: Testing the GA Sails Matrix

- A robust, reinforced 7-batten no-cam sail featuring a sophisticated X-Ply/monofilm construction, high-quality materials and a weight of 5.3 kg.  
- Very stable, controllable power delivery with a wide wind range, high top speed and a high level of riding comfort on long speed runs.  
- Easy to trim and pump, with good rotation during jibes; the increased mass and long boom slightly reduce its playful character.

Freerace

- NCX 2026: a camberless freerace sail offering high control, low hold force requirements, high top speed and playful handling.  
- Construction: 7 battens, generous loose leech, robust monofilm, Dacron reinforcements, 4-pulley trim block (not compatible with Power.XT).  
- Ideal for fast, energy-efficient long runs; excellent control and top speed, particularly with an RDM mast up to size 7.2.

- The Duotone X_Pace is a camberless freerace sail with seven battens, a lightweight design and a sporty, responsive feel.
- It offers excellent stability, a wide wind range, superb control and very good speed potential, particularly in strong winds.
- Its strengths are speed, stability of the pressure point and the quality of the materials; its weakness is the noticeable batten rotation; it also features an innovative luff-trimming system.

- The Speedster Evo is a 4.25-kg camberless freerace sail featuring many World Cup elements and very light, sporty handling.  
- A blend of materials, including a ‘taffeta luff’, a lightweight mast pocket and a thinner monofilm at the top, provides a weight advantage but makes the sail more delicate.  
- Offers plenty of lift, excellent control, strong acceleration and very good jibing manoeuvrability across the entire wind range; weakness: thin mast pocket and top material.

- Goya Mark 7 7.2: a lightweight freerace sail with a Monofilm X-Ply frame, reinforced leech and a wide mast pocket for RDM/optional SDM.  
- Very early planing, high levels of comfort and manoeuvrability, stable ride and good speed in light to moderate downwind conditions.  
- Slightly limited in terms of absolute top speed, but still wins the freeride category; strengths: planing, comfort, easy surfing, manoeuvrability, speed; weaknesses: none.

- The Sailloft Cross HR 7.2 is a hybrid between freeride and freerace, with a very broad range of use, from beginners to freeracers.  
- Engineered X-Ply, a robust mast pocket and six battens from 6.2 onwards ensure stability, visibility and sporty, direct yet smooth handling.  
- Offers a wide wind range, a naturally stable pressure point, excellent control, manoeuvrability and speed in moderate winds; no weaknesses were noted during testing.

- Seven no-cam freerace sails ranging from 7.0 to 7.3 m² were tested, including the Duotone X_Pace and the NeilPryde Speedster Evo.
- Modern no-cam sails almost match the performance of camber sails, whilst remaining manoeuvrable and comfortable.
- The tests in Tobago covered conditions ranging from planing winds to strong winds; the full test report will appear in surf 5/2026 from 18 August.

- With the 9+ Light Wind Titan, Point-7 is launching a 9.0-square-metre freerace sail for light wind conditions of around 12 to 18 knots.
- The sail is specifically designed for Finn class sailors who want to get planing early and do not want to resort to foiling in light winds.
- Design features such as overlap panels, a one-piece mast pocket and a three-camber system are intended to provide stability, early planing and efficient pumping.
