Materials

4mil Anti UV X-ply base panel to protect against accidents.
Anti-UV transparent grey sail window for a 100% Anti UV monofilm sail.
X-ply mast pocket for fast reflection.
Lower wide Dacron mast pocket for added performance and comfort. 3 camber for maximum performance.
X-ply alternating batten pockets for lighter weight and reflex. 7 tubular battens, with 7 different setups to best suit the purebred slalom profile in terms of quality. Battens seven and six consist of a special construction of 3 differently profiled batten sections.

Sail area

The absolute hammer if you're into drag racing!

XXXL mast pocket, deep sail profile from bottom to top for extreme performance and stability when racing downwind.

A true winglet (reduces drag and air turbulence for more power and control) is located at the very top of the first sail batten, acting like close the gap on the board deck. No loss of power from the top of the sail.

The sail design accelerates the wind as it leaves the sail, allowing more wind to enter the profile, generating extreme propulsion.

The sail automatically self-adjusts its power thanks to the S-shaping along the entire opening in the mid to upper leech to increase or decrease the venturi effect in the sail depending on the situation.

Only one clew eye, which ensures that the control of the S-shape and leech tension are controlled from the optimal point in the clew, exactly where the eye is located.

You can close the gap between the extra low luff and the board deck to the millimetre. And if it really gets too much, the almost imperceptible S-shape of the base batten allows pressure to escape under extremely overpowered conditions.

Its character on land: You can see immediately that the deep downhaul and the XXXL mast pocket can only mean one thing: brute power without end! The grey martial design is hard to resist. All you want to do is get out on the water and fire up the engine. A 3-camber 7-batten setup gives the unbridled power stability and controllability. Gentlemen, start your engines! But fasten your seatbells first!

Its character on the water: Plug & 0.7. When you go out on the water, you can only imagine what an awesome power plant you have in your hands. So be ready and buckle up, because the sail has such a propulsion and such a crazy acceleration that you can get scared of the high speed you reach extremely fast. You don't need a GPS to realise that you've never been this fast before. The AC-One Speed pushes the board deck down, eliminating any unwanted noselift on nervous boards and smoothing out anything in the way! It's like adding a second supercharged turbo with the AC-One Speed. The control at extremely high speeds is amazing and you will soon discover that the handling allows you to use it on smaller slalom boards / speed boards as well.

Race results: It's time for Lüderitz. Speed Forever!

Developed and designed by: #born07 The Point-7 Black Team. A team of professional windsurfers and designers who have proven themselves by designing the winning sail for the PWA Slalom World Tour champion.

Development goal: to be the record holder! Other than that.

Rigging: With the AC-1 Speed, the mast must be tucked into the wide mast pocket over the cammers. After the luff has been tightened to about 15 cm before the final luff tension, you can either tighten the clew a little with the help of the boom and then fold the cams before the luff is finally put through, or you fold the cams with the correct technique, then finally tighten the luff tensioner and fasten the clew to the boom at the end. You can find more instructions and videos in the support section on our website. Playing a little with the clew tension (outhaul) increases performance (less tension) or increases control (more tension). Put tension in the bottom two battens and the top batten of the sail, but only tension the other battens enough to just remove the wrinkles without putting too much tension in the battens.
