The new FoilFreek is higher aspect to minimize any fore-aft movement of the power in the sail, keeping it balanced directly above the foil. Taller sails provide more leverage, improving the light wind efficiency. And the longer, stiffer masts enable increased skin tension for better high wind control.
The FoilFreek uses the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY. Corners have overlapped panels which reduces the amount of patching. At the same time these overlapped areas extend into the body of the sail so it transitions the load much better, less stretch over time. It’s a more stable way of building sails.
Rather than a single curved luff panel, the FoilFreek uses separate panels that radiate out of the head and tack corners. This perfectly aligns the sail material with the direction of load. Previously the curved panel would have bias stretch in all the wrong places. Direct transmission of power. Increased longevity.
Sizes 4.8 to 5.6 can be rigged on a 430 RDM mast, and the 4.0 to 4.8 can be rigged on a 400. (4.8 is the crossover size, can be rigged on either)

With the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY improvements are obvious. Lighter weight and better stability.
Using the new GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY. Corners have overlapped panels which reduces the amount of patching. At the same time these overlapped areas extend into the body of the sail so it transitions the load much better, will be less stretch over time. It’s a more stable way of building sails.
The GRADIENT PANEL TECHNOLOGY logically reduces weight, increases strength and controls stretch. Overall weight is reduced but the more significant improvement is the feel – quicker reacting and lighter feel.
Rather than a single curved luff panel, we use separate panels – split luff – that radiate out of the head and tack corners. This perfectly aligns the sail material with the direction of load.
