Beskrivelse av artikkelen
The S-Max delivers race-level performance with addictive acceleration in a user-friendly, twin-cam, 6-batten configuration. Experience the exceptional stability of a cambered sail, coupled with a shortened boom for improved maneuverability and unbelievable forward pull that will send you into blistering speeds.
The wide X-Ply panel, combined with the twin cams, ensures that the profile stays locked in place even during high wind gusts. The S-Max features our Progressive Batten Design on the cambered battens. Designed with the same technique as our top-performing SX masts. The cambered battens are designed to create the perfect harmonic curve.
It rigs effortlessly on both SDM and RDM masts, providing unmatched adaptability. It comes standard with an extra camber: the “TEKCAM Reduced”. To rig you sail on a RDM mast, just replace the bottom cam with the TEKCAM Reduced.
The S-Max is the dual-purpose high-performance sail for both fin and foiling. To get ultimate performance from the S-Max for foiling, rig with slightly less down to give the sail a tighter leach. This will create a more stable draft for foiling.

RDM vs. SDM
The bend curve of the SDM and RDM’s are compatible with one another. The RDM’s are more suitable for lighter riders and/or the smaller sizes. SDM’s provide a faster reflex response, better stability, and faster acceleration, especially in lengths of 460 cm or longer, therefore more suitable for flatwater sailing in the larger sizes.
