Loft Sails Racing Blade 2012 : dedicated to reaching your racing goals

The New Racing Blade has been developed to match any type of style, weight rider, condition.
The Racing Blade delivers maximum power needed by the slalom and speed pilot.
The Racing Blade is compatible from 6.3 to 9.5 with both Rdm and Sdm masts.

- Racing Blades on Rdm masts are ideal for light weight riders in competition, and for high performance cruising… Rdm masts are perfect for a smooth & easy feeling.
- Rigged on Sdm masts, Racing Blades deliver the maximum power that serious competitors and mid/heavy weight races are looking for.

For 2012 the Racing Blade wind range has increased with amazing upper end control and stability.
For 2012 legendary Blade lightness in the hands is combined with improved balance & fuller body profiles- boosting low-end performance.

The new Racing Blades include The Loft’s exclusive Internal Batten Tensioner System (ITS).
This new Racing Blade feature results in a lighter, smoother, more reactive leech.
The batten tensioners are moved forward, just behind the mast for improved rig inertia.
The ITS combined with new reduced diameter carbon tubes, and the Racing Blade Pentex upper body panels results in extremely light upper rig weight for overall better performance.

Racing Blades feature :
- Internal Kevlar strip applications that define shape profile and maintain shape stability - vertical and horizontal (at cams) orientation
- Blade mast pocket construction: mast panel AND pocket sides (3 elements) tensioned directly; equalized loading- firm, clean, easy-rotating leading edge
- Alternate side batten pocket applications with xply pockets (centered battens)
- Stepped x-ply construction (5mil lower sections, 4mil upper sections and mast pocket)
- Sensitip head batten system
- Neoprene closure at the boomhole with dual spiral zips
- Rdm & Sdm compatibility (sizes 6.3 and larger)
- Metallic cam interfaces
- 4 Teckams- simple, functional, light, adjustable, durable

Loft Sails 2012 Rigging instructions

959€ le wishbone carbone 200-250, ça a intérêt à être au top d'emblée s'ils veulent en vendre, car les leaders sont bien installés dans ce créneau et sont moins chers que ça.

Bah c'est le prix des hauts de gamme !

Si ils sortent un wish qui tient la route ! c'est dans la moyenne des hauts de gamme

Oui, mais les autres ont fait leur preuve depuis bien longtemps

je dis pas le contraire donc wait & see...

Pour la Blade, hausse de 40 € sur le millésime 2012 :

Belle inflation entre 2010 et 2012... ahhhh le cout du carbon

Entre une 7.7 2010 à une 7.8 2012 il y a 264€ ... demain le matos d'occase au prix du neuf d'hier

Ça correspond quelque-part à un changement d'échelle aussi pour Loft. Ils commencent à sérieusement jouer dans la cour des grands là, que ce soit en terme de produit (Blade 2011 notamment) ou de résultats sur la coupe du monde. Ils ont peut-être envie de gagner un peu d'argent après le travail maintenant

Ouais ça devient inaccessible, un peu dommage...

moi je viends de recevoir ma 2011
