2015 Manic!

little more light-wind oriented.

R&D DETAILS

New outline with Posi Leech: we made the luff shorter and kept the boom the same in

general. Compact Batten Positioning brings the battens (and the center of gravity) of the

sail further down. The Stabilized Head Configuration and revised panel layout with less

seams results in a reinforced head and clew area, whilst the very top of the sail is made

completely in X-ply, which combined with an X-ply panel between clew and Monofilm

window make for additional protection. Adjusted luff curve details for a smoother curve.

The 4.2m now has 4 battens. The top half of the sail is in our lightweight and elastic 2-Ply

material. We kept the Dacron luff panel as in our opinion it is the best material when

aiming for a smooth and soft behavior and great neutrality. The 2-mast concept allows all

sizes to be rigged on 2 masts only.

We increased the shape in the front panels, and pushed the center of effort a little higher up and back in the sail to increase the performances in lighter winds. In addition we increased the looseness in the leech at the top of the sail to increase the range. A 6 batten skeleton, with 3 tube battens, makes it stable and powerful, with a wide useable wind range. With so ...
