WHAT’S NEW
The 2016 Atlas has been totally re-designed with the objective of keeping all the drive and power, which characterize this sail, but improving the handling when riding waves. We achieved this by tuning the luff-curve which now permits better twist in the lowermiddle leech so excess power can be released, preventing backhand overload. At the same time, we increased the profile on lower two battens to ensure no power is lost.
KEY FEATURES
Higher Draft Distribution combined with a deep profile, generates power and maximum upwind performance in on-shore conditions.
Higher Leech tension allowing the sail to power up quickly in minimal wind conditions by creating some lift even in the head.
Even twist for optimum response and constant drive, while being able to release any excessive pressure and reduce backhand overload.
Rider focused centre of effort: Deep profile focused on lower 2 battens. Perfectly balanced power to ensure profile stability and control.
