RAPID 2020
NO CAM FREERACE SAIL
How to combine Slalom with effortless Freeriding? The solution is the Rapid. The easy handling of a no cam sail within an ambitious 7- batten slalom outline. That results in a perfectly balanced profile which provides immediate acceleration and a thrilling top speed. At the same time the sail is easy to control within a vast wind range, leaving the pressure point exactly where it should be.
KEY FACTS:
> No-cam Freerace sail with easy handling
> Offset clew with ca. 8 cm offset, lower eyelet for more handling, upper eyelet for more performance
> 7/7 Cross Batten Concept for maximum profile stability and ideal aerodynamics
> RDM compatible up to size 6.7 for improved handling with the same performance
> Reduced boom length for more control and easy manoeuvres
> Redesigned profile in the boom area to increase reactivity and handling
> New Kevlar Lines enable weight savings and precise material stretch control
> Smart clew construction for longevity

For the 2020 Season we updated the construction of the Rapid for further weight savings. Within that re-design we included additional kevlar lines to precisely control the stretch of the material and define the profile. Conclusively we save weight without compromising the established Gunsails quality and durability. The profile in the area around the boom has been redesigned to increase reactivity and find perfection in manoeuver handling. Also, the size of the mast sleeve is enlarged to simplify rigging and de-rigging. Thus, the test-winning Freerace icon Rapid starts light and lightning fast into the season 2020. With the Rapid you will easily leave some camber sails behind you. No other model combines this performance and playful handling without any compromise. As fast as no cam can get!
