Loft Sails 2011

L'interview de Ludo Jossin par Monty :

Monty : “ What do you see in the future regarding the development of competitive slalom rigs? Are there new features in Loftsails Blades 2011?”

Ludo Jossin : “Well, we have been testing so many things the past 4 months. With Monty we developed the new 2011 Blade design… super balanced with added extra power to the back hand. This power makes the rig super steady with a new direct feeling for the Blades.
For 2011 Blades can convert from rdm to sdm masts (like our Switchblades '09 and '10) from 6.3 to 12.5…for light weight riders the soft, easy feeling is available with rdms, meanwhile sdms can be rigged as well (Loft Tekcams!!) which brings in extra power for racers and heavy riders.
We tested the new 2011 Blades with both type of spars. Conversion from rdm to sdms needs just a few minutes by exchanging the lowest 3 Tekcams. This new Blade compatibility will make things easier for windsurfers owning standard diameter masts.
Another big improvement into the 2011 Racing Blades will be the combination of 3 features to loose weight near the rig tip… all Racing Blades 2011 will be produced in series with:
-Pentex for light weight, better durability and the best resistance to UV!
-New 8.5mm o.d, 5.3mm i.d. carbon tubes for the upper 3 battens that are super light and stiff!
-The Loft’s new Internal Tensioner System (ITS). ITS moves the top 3 batten tensioners from the leech edge forward to the batten front end. This removes weight from the leech, earning improved reflex action that has a strong positive effect in choppy and hi wind conditions... the leech inertia improves, producing greater rig reactivity.”
