Loftsails Switchblade 2022 :

Throughout its design evolution, the Switchblade 3-cam freerace design had been appreciated and highlighted in many magazine tests. It has been complimented for smooth acceleration, wide wind range, and solid control in stronger winds. The 2022 design further expands these capabilities.
The aspect ratio of the Switchblade is increased some more to create a profile that optimises forward-oriented drive.

A broader range of trimming options has been achieved by redistributing the luff curve and vertical shapes.

Switchblade 2022 continues to be available in the exclusive orange bi-ply and reinforced HD versions.
All Switchblades come equipped with two sets of our TekCam II cams, and can accommodate both RDM and SDM masts.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
• Green HD: Full X-Ply – 5 mil biaxial luff and foot panels, 4 mil biax window panels, 3.5 mil biax leech panels, 2 mil upper body panels
• Orange: 5 mil biaxial luff and foot panels, 5 mil mono window and 4 mil mono body panels
• Blade Mast Pocket: Downhaul tension is equalized between the mast panel and the mast pocket resulting in a firm, easy-rotating leading edge
• Kevlar Strips: Internal vertical and horizontal Kevlar strip applications define profile and augments stability
• TekCam II: Easy rotation and gentle on the mast
• Metallic Cam Interface: Eliminates contact point degradation characteristic of cams
• Tubed Batten System: Better upper end control

• Neoprene Boom Cutout With Zippers: Limits water entry into the mast sleeve
• Dual Clew Eyelets with Webbing: Allow adjusting leech-release characteristics to better suit sailing conditions
• IYU250 4-Part Mast Pocket: Super durable IYU250 is the perfect material between your mast and the elements
• Trim Diamond: A reference marker for precision leach-release tunning.
• Full-opening Mast Pad: Easy access to your mast extension, downhaul system and batten trim key
• RDM/SDM Compatibility: TekCam II Large (installed) and Reduced included with sizes 8.6 and smaller

Loftsails Switchblade 2022. That are great looking sails. Love the design.

Loftsails Racingblade 2022 :

Racingblade is an epitome of Loftsails’ non-stop evolution.

As uncompromising slalom-competition designs, Racingblades are recognized for their blistering acceleration and top speed.

The previous model had already benefitted from increased forward-oriented drive. The 2022 version has slightly less low body profile and a higher
aspect ratio to take top speed up yet another step.
The new Racingblade continues its development with further attention to the distribution of vertical curves and luff shape. On the racecourse, these developments translate into quicker acceleration off the mark and out of the gybes.
The Racingblade’s efficient airflow is achieved by a uniquely constructed ultra-low drag mast pocket. Each of its three layers are tensioned by the
tack pulley webbing, inducing a clean and firm leading edge.
Sail profile is greatly stabilized by the introduction of new batten profiles. Unfazed by even the strongest gusts, the sail transforms wind into
blistering speed, and exhausts excess power off a finely tuned leech.
TekCam II camber inducers shift smoothly to give easy rotation. Metallic Cam Interfaces eliminate degradation at the cambers’ contact points.
Racingblade sizes 8.4 and smaller are compatible with SDM and RDM masts.
For the first time, Racingblade is produced entirely free of monofilm materials.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
• Blade Mast Pocket: Downhaul tension is equalized between the mast panel and the mast pocket resulting in a firm, easy-rotating leading edge
• Kevlar Strips: Internal vertical and horizontal Kevlar strip applications define profile and augments stability
• Full X-Ply: Higher longevity and UV-resistance
• TekCam II: Easy rotation and gentle on the mast
• Metallic Cam Interface: Eliminates contact point degradation characteristic of cams
• Varied Carbon Tubed Battens: Carbon tubes are lightweight and deliver superior stability at the upper end
• X-ply Batten Pocket: Minimizes the asymmetric character of applied batten pockets.
• Neoprene Boom Cutout With Zippers: Limits water entry into the mast sleeve
• IYU250 4-Part Mast Pocket: Super durable IYU250 is the perfect material between your mast and the elements
• Trim Diamond: A reference marker for precision leach-release tunning.
• RDM/SDM Compatibility: TekCam II Large (installed) and Reduced included with sizes 8.6 and smaller

Quel dommage qu’ils n’aient pas conservé une version orange comme les SwitchBlade .…

Pour moi le vert c’est rédhibitoire

The Racingblade builds on the increased forward-oriented drive from the previous model. Adding a slightly less low body profile and a higher aspect ratio takes its top speed up yet another step.

The aspect ratio of the Switchblade is increased some more to create a profile that optimises forward-oriented drive. Redistribution of the luff curve and vertical shapes further broadens the range of trimming options.

Une belle présentation !!!!

Very nice presentation from one of the very very few true sails guru around, who saw it all from the beginning!
Only one thing is not clear to me: it says "For the first time, Racingblade is produced entirely free of monofilm materials", but looking at pictures and video it seems to me it's coloured film above the window, not X-Ply. We will see.

Les Switchblade HD 2022 de Loftsails bénéficient d'un nouveau rond de guindant et des formes verticales redessinées qui permettent une palette de possibilités plus large. Appréciée pour son accélération progressive, cette voile de windsurf slalom vous permet de naviguer dans de larges plages de vent et possède une fenêtre renforcée pour plus de solidité. L'aspect ratio a été augmenté pour plus de maniabilité à l'avant et le volume réduit en tête rend les voiles plus compactes dans les mains.
