Vector 9,2 2019
3 CAM FREERACE SAIL
Call it the little brother of the GS-R or "Slalom light", no matter how, the Vector has established itself as a dominant model in the GUNSAILS range. 3 cambers and 7 tube battens form a deep profile through the 3D Wing Sleeve, allowing maximum acceleration, top speed and planing power.
KEY FACTS:
> High performance freeracer with 3 cams
> 3D Wings Sleeve creating aerodynamically optimized profile, enabling early planing control and highspeed
> Two eyelets with 7 cm distance for individual trim, inner eyelet for better acceleration and top speed, outer eyelet for more fin pressure and increased drive through lulls
> 7/7 Cross Batten Concept, all of them tube battens, for maximum profile stability
> Tack strap to further define downhaul tension
> Lighter construction of batten pockets and monofilm in the sail top allows to further reduce weight
> Neopren cover at the boom opening
The performance of the sail is easy to handle and is therefore more energy-saving compared to the GS-R. Thus the Vector is ideal for slalom intermediates as well as for slightly lighter windsurfers. But also ambitious slalom pilots will not miss anything here. The new material configuration, consisting of two different monofilm thicknesses, improves the reactivity of the sail and makes it possible to generate more power and propulsion from the upper part of the sail. This also saves valuable weight. The new arrangement of the Offset Clew makes the Vector even more adaptable. The inner eyelet provides better acceleration and top speed. The outer eyelet, which is 7 cm further outside, provides more fin pressure and increased drive through lulls. The neoprene cover on the boom opening improves the aerodynamics of the sail and minimizes water ingress. With a focus on speed, sizes 5.0 and 5.6 are designed for RDM use only. The slightly softer profile increases the control required at high wind speeds and top speeds. Sizes 6.3 and 7.1 can optionally be rigged with RDM for even better handling.
However you will require the additional RDM Camber Set. With the performance of a competition sail and the PWA registration, the Vector is our energy-loaded freerace sail. Nevertheless, this enormous drive can be tamed with easy handling and low holding forces.
