Manufacturer Duotone is expanding its range of F-Pace foil sails. In addition, there will now be two small sizes with 3.4 and 4.0 m², which are optimised for strong wind foiling and freestyle moves on the foil board.

Other sizes of the model have also been revised: Duotone wants to have further improved the sizes 6.4 and 7.4, which are aimed at foil freeriders, by changing the batten arrangement, especially in the light wind range, in order to achieve a charging and thus more powerful handling behaviour.

In general, the F-Pace foil sail differs significantly from "normal" windsurfing sails in terms of sail shape: the sail is designed from the ground up with less luff curve and a tighter leech, as a strong twist in the top is neither desirable nor necessary when foiling. The boom dimensions are also shorter than would be the case with a windsurf sail.

The F-Pace has been developed in sizes 3.4/4.0/4.6/5.2 and 5.8 for foil tricks and jumps, while sizes 6.4 and 7.4 are designed for foil freeriders. Depending on the size, the model is priced between 739 and 949 euros.
