The 2015 Gaastra Vapor 8.6 m2 windsurfing sail in average condition is for Race use.
The Vapor is our no compromise racing sail. The R&D process continues throughout the entire year to keep our riders winning. In 2014, we won the IFCA slalom world title and the Formula world and european championships. The new 2015 models have been beating these sails already for the past months! We can’t wait to get them on the race course!
We have implemented our new design features with new outlines, compact batten positioning and stabilized head configurations. On the slalom sizes we adopted a straight leech as it was the best compromise for downwind racing, while on the formula sizes the posi leech works better with its added drive upwind. We increased the aspect ratio on the slalom sails making them more agile around the jibes and with increased shaping in the bottom and in the luff higher up in the sail performance is at a new level. We also worked on the flexibility of the rig fine tuning it for every single size. We changed the mast sleeve material on the slalom sizes and reduced its width in the top half of the sail. On the Formula sizes we redesigned them all and put a new outline with a much smaller head in all the sizes. We changed the batten positioning finding a more efficient upwind power zone, which helped us to take one batten off the 12,5 making it an 8 batten 4 camber configuration like on the other sizes. A newly designed head and clew fairings for additional protection of those exposed areas of the sail make the sails much more durable.
Our trademark features like C-Film, Radial panel layout, SAS System, new designed tack fairing, all combine to make the 2015 Vapor in a league of its own.
