420
In 1999, we began concentrating on this class and in a few months of testing and hard work at sea and in the loft, and thanks to the collaboration of top-ranking athletes and trainers, we succeed in producing an extremely fast set of sails. Nor is just us to say so: in recent years, our sails have been chosen frequently by the International Federation for various ISAF World Championships.
Our current models, synthesis of our work of evolution and sperimentation, have won national, world and continental championships in both male and female categories.
Our research and development (R&D) has continued over the years and our sails are now the most commonly used throughout the world, having achieved some of the very best results.

MAINSAILS
RDL (Radial)
As with all Radial designs, this Main is more sensitive to trimming. The overall shape is more stable and the sail is longer-lasting. It requires a little more work and attention to mainsheet, cunningham and outhaul to produce the best shape for the various and changing conditions.
XCF (Cross Cut Flat)
This Main was designed with the aim of achieving an easier sail to tune. Its performance is excellent, especially when used by women or lighter teams.
Both models are available for Superspar M7, Proctor Kappa and Proctor Cumulus masts.
JIB
SV5
In the beginning we thought that only one single model of jib was the best and simplest solution. The shape of this sail, with its profiles slightly flatter below and a bit fuller on the mid-section, makes it easier to tune and a very All-Round sail with very high average performance.
SV5 - F (Fuller)
Some of the best sailors were demanding for more power on waves. The SV5- F now perfectly matches this need. Its fuller and more round “exits” are well balanced by the increased “twist”, which was necessary in order to optimize the main/ jib tunnel and to get the maximum driving force.
SPINNAKER
AP8
The spinneker AP8 proved to be very fast and stable in all conditions. Compared to our previous models it is a little flatter on the top-section whilst fuller in the lower part. The projection area is the widest possible, meaning that the sail has a bigger surface exposed to the wind.
AP10
The spinnaker AP10 was designed flatter compared to our other model and it is mainly used by lighter crews who in this way are able to be fast in close reach points of sail.
- ULTRALIGHT (UL);
- RIPSTOP (RS), this new fabric, slightly heavier in weight, is more resistant to tears and hence longer-lasting. It is above all suited to strong wind conditions or for less expert crews.
Our spinnakers are available in two different types of fabric:

Our new generation sails are fruit of a long work of research and development, particularly intense during the last competitive seasons.
