– No Sock Center Seam. Like our cambered sails and Echo, the Poweride now features our single piece sock panel with no center sock seam to reduce turbulence and add durability.

– Scalloped Luff Trajectories. Scalloped luff trajectories push profile into batten fronts, locking shape low and forward. To compliment the new design, a complete new string pattern was mapped to maintain stability and overall response from the rig.

– Flow Aligned Battens. The new Streamlined Design features a fanned batten layout. This new batten layout reduces drag and increases acceleration, while maintaining the stability of a more traditional cross batten position.

– Twist Dynamics. Each sails size has an upgrade the overall twist profile. The scooped twist flow works in harmony with the skeleton to give the sails and easy breathing feel over a tremendous wind range.

– Foot Batten Particulars. To improve rotation of the sail, foot cup has been slightly reduced to allow easier sail body rotation. Rather than kicked up, the foot batten angle remains standard. Keeping this orientation, slightly more  perpendicular to the foot edge, adds stability and reduces foot perimeter bounce in chop.

– Improved string mapping keeps the sail head under constant load ensuring the twist and drive of the sail is always under control and in place.

– Head Loading. New for 2020, an integral clew stiffening board is riveted to the sail body for superior load distribution.
