What super extra fast speed creases?

Or super cheap but heavy monofilm sail which you can quite easily jump
through but at least watch where you're about to go.

I hope they're significantly cheaper those new sails now they wont be paying
14% import duty on the monofilm..

Got to love the creases and that bend in the boom. Pimp? Probably...

Is that "new" concept going to last as well as the "old" model, I see the standard sail has come done considerably in price on the website. And tbh if you let the outhaul of a touch the creases would be gone anyway...

those creases are one of the reasons we can go so quickly lower down the wind range. pimp or not we kind of need them. the standard sail has probably came down in price in order to clear stock through so that LDC can supply the new sails as soon as they are ready. personally im not sure i like the look of the new sail. looks very stark with the clear then almost black stitching/ dacron luff......

and the bend in the boom is built in for a reason. it stops us ditsy 300 sailors from hitting our heads as much
