For the fetishists among the specialists, the SUPER HERO by Viktor Fernandez is now available as a limited M.PLUS edition in ultra-light high-tech membrane construction. The membrane body is manufactured by a highly specialised yacht sail manufacturer on computer-controlled production lines. The aim was to achieve maximum weight savings as well as improved durability compared to the membrane sails available up to now. We draw on our experience in yachting and use a 20% thicker special monofilm as well as an increased proportion of adhesive. Dyneema fibres are laid on the first film layer by a plotter exactly in the direction of the force. The exact course was defined in advance by computer simulation by the designer and the producer. Then the top layer is applied and compacted in a vacuum process before the adhesive is activated under heat. Two of the four batten pockets are directly laminated in during this process. The mast pocket incl. protector, the remaining two batten pockets and the thimbles are added using the classic process. The result is a 20% (= 600 g) lighter high-end SUPER HERO, whose lower weight is particularly noticeable during manoeuvres and handling. Never before has a wave sail been so light and loose in the hand and behaved so neutrally when riding the wave, especially as the membrane gives the sail a more pleasantly elastic feel and thus improved power development, especially in the underpowered wind range. Otherwise, the range of use and basic character do not differ from the regular SUPER HERO. Viktor Fernandez only uses the M.PLUS edition in the World Cup because the weight advantages are simply unbeatable. Ultimate technology and the most complex manufacturing processes mean that the SUPER HERO M.PLUS is only available in very limited numbers at a price significantly higher than the regular version. Important note: The SUPER HERO M.PLUS is a high-tech professional sail that is designed for minimum weight despite the optimised membrane film. This inevitably comes at the expense of durability, which is why the M.PLUS edition is excluded from the 5-year warranty.
