The X_PACE project was born out of a personal demand from some of the o-50 guys in our department. Having been dedicated cam sail racers back in the days the wheel of time took its toll. Lifting a cam-sail being filled with water has simply become a dealbreaker. But these guys still have the speed-skills of being the fastest at their local spot.

The biggest hurdle was to generate a similar pre-shaping including a “hump” in the luff panel even without cambers. After 2 years of development we have achieved this with a completely unique shaping concept which induces a similar (pre)shaping into the luff panel like seen on cambered racing sails.
This heavy pre-shaping has also led to another decisive advantage as it allows to use RDM masts . Usually RDM masts do not work on sails bigger than 6.5 as they are simply too soft. But the pre-shaping of the X_PACE compensates for this to such an extent that there is no loss of performance compared to SDM masts .
Please note though that this heavy pre-shaping requires an active jibing technique especially in underpowered conditions. After shifting make sure to grip more than shoulder-wide and initiate the rotation through sheeting in with your backhand. When it comes to most effortless rotation, the E_PACE remains the top choice.
The X_PACE generates power, acceleration, speed and a locked-in feel that rivals any cambered sail. The forward pull pushes you into a committed stance, allowing to let your board fly on the fin.
And all of that combined with a super narrow mast sleeve. Combined with being one of the lightest freerace sails out there makes you lift the sail out of the water similar to a bigger wave sail.
Last but not least the absence of cams makes the X_PACE rig as easy and fast as a wave sail.
Here are some of the highlights of the brand-new X_PACE :
> 7-batten design >> Directly derived from our World Cup cam racing sail WARP_FIN for ultimate control and stability
> Increased pre-shaping >> Instant dragster-like acceleration similar to a race cam sail including the typical locked-in forward pull
> Increased pre-shaping >> Board and sail feel more connected and gives the rider more board control
> Lots of luff curve >> Results in a high sail foil tension >> maximum high-end control and thus V-max
> Triple XPly luff panel >> Allows to carry a high downhaul tension and greatly reduces stretch in the luff panel for maximum performance and stability
> Multiple tube battens >> Maximum stability and lower weight
> CARBON X_PLY in the in the high load luff area (top and foot) >> Maximum wind range (sail keeps the stability in stronger winds)
> Higher clew eyelet position >> Faster response for maximum performance
> Shorter Boom with increased Cutaway Clew >> Easy handling, better sail rotation through less swing weight
> LIGHT DONE RIGHT >> One of the lightest 7-batten Freerace sails out there but without sacrificing longterm durability proven by our unrivaled 5 YEAR WARRANTY
Key Features
VTS DOWNHAUL 2.0
Optional QUICK RIGGING PATCH allows "to the spot" downhaul trimming without even looking to the top (patent pending)
iROCKET 2.0
Factory calibrated individual batten tensions using a torque wrench
CARBON XPLY
XPly reinforced with unidirectional Carbon strings leads to unmatched low stretch and direct reaction
VTS TAIL outhaul specs
Each sail carries individually defined visual indications for the correct outhaul extension (requires VTS TAIL boom).
iBUMPER 2.0
The most advanced and effective molded mast protector
Tech Features
3D Top Cap
Optimised pull. On regular top caps and pin systems the webbing is connected in a “one-dimensional” way with the sail body (either side to side or front to back), which transfers the downhaul tension only in certain points.
POLYESTER WEBBING ONLY
Eliminating stretch and loss of tension. If it’s good enough for safety harnesses, it’s good enough for windsurfers.
Carbon XPly
Based on our exclusive XPLY PLUS, we have added unidirectional carbon strings. This has virtually eliminated the stretch in the load direction, while retaining a certain give/elasticity in the other direction.
TT TOP
Improved sail control at higher winds. Designer Kai Hopf originally designed the TT TOP for the WARP.
XPLY PLUS
What would you prefer? Maximum puncture resistance and UV weathering resistance with minimum stretch?
DURATECH FOOT
Long-term guarantee for the sail foot. When starting off on the water or catching up, the foot of the sail is constantly dragged over the nonslip coating, particularly for wide boards.
PROGRESSIVE CUTAWAY CLEW INCL. CROSS BATTEN
Optimum combination of minimised rotation forces, power, and handling. The CROSS BATTEN concept is the intelligent solution that shifts the draft position downwards while supporting the large surface area in the boom area.
VTS TAIL OUTHAUL SPECS
Each sail carries individually defined visual indications for the correct outhaul extension (requires VTS TAIL boom).
SUPER-LIGHT BUMPER incl. VTS slot
The lightest protector on the market. The integrated vinyl viewing window allows to spot the lower edge of the mast.
TWIN STRAP
This keeps the sail rolled up and holds the protector to the mast. A brilliantly simple fastening system which keeps the sail compact and closed after being rolled up and, when on the water, holds the mast protector closely to the mast.
TRIPLE TACK ROLLER 3.0
Find the perfect trim with minimal effort. The integrated, nickel-plated brass triple roller minimises the downhaul forces tremendously.
SLEEVE OPENER
Frictionless insertion of the mast into the luff sleeve. An ingenious solution does away with the tedium of inserting the mast.

ATTENTION: since the mast geometry and length (= stiffness) depend on the sail design, size and luff curve the sails will NOT work with any masts outside the recommendations.
