THE SAIL WAS CREATED BY DESIGNER KAI HOPF, IMPLEMENTING ALL THE DESIRES OF THE RIDER HIMSELF. THE RESULT IS THE MOST HIGHLY DEVELOPED AND EXTREME FREESTYLE SAILS THAT WE HAVE EVER MANUFACTURED IN SERIES.
All sizes are sensationally lightweight because the innovative and high-tech laminate ODL and the 100-micron ULTRA FILM were used instead of the usual XPLY material. These materials are 50% lighter than previous sailcloths, which makes the IDOL LTD weigh about as much as a 1.5 m² smaller SUPER HERO (e.g. 4.8 and 3.4). The IDOL LTD can do everything a freestyler needs it to. In addition to its absolutely neutral handling, it gives no unwanted feedback and is incredibly lightweight in your hands, leaving you free to concentrate fully on your moves and manoeuvres. You’d think you were turning without your sail, since the IDOL LTD rotates incredibly fast through all tricks and is completely balanced in the wind during ducking moves. The extremely high clew and the short boom length make ducking manoeuvres so fast that almost no speed is lost. Not only will the IDOL LTD boost your success rate for difficult manoeuvres, it will also make it a lot more fun to meet new challenges. New, virtually unbreakable battens are used, which can easily handle even the roughest wipe outs. Simply awesome: When used for foiling the IDOL LTD features a special clew eyelet to be able to position the sail even more upright! Important: Although this is something other manufacturers are reluctant to mention, achieving the lowest weight can only be achieved by reducing the thickness of materials. Because the thickness of the ODL yacht laminate was kept to a minimum, the material’s UV stability is limited.
Key Features
CONVEX DACRON LUFF-PANEL: Maximum elasticity without distortion from the battens enables maximum lift for all jumps against the sail
HOLLOW LOWER LEECH: Hollow Lower Leech (scooped leech outline) stabilises the profile right above the boom and prevents leech fluttering
RADIAL LOAD STRIPES: Additional Radial Load Stripes at the clew improve the stability and extend the wind range
LIGHTEST FREESTYLE SAIL: Our lightest Freestyle sail of all time, thanks to trend-setting high-tech yachting material (ODL laminate, 4mil ULTRA FILM)
FASTEST DUCKING: Super high clew and short boom allow fastest possible ducking to avoid loosing any speed
iROCKET 2.0: Factory calibrated individual batten tensions using a torque wrench
