The Wave Sail with Power, Stability and Maximum Versatility
Whether Bump & Jump, onshore waves or long reaches in strong wind – the GUNSAILS HORIZON 2026 is the windsurf sail for those seeking XL power, precise control and top performance. For 2026, our design team led by Renato Morlotti has refined the layout: the four leech panels are now made of lightweight Square-Ply 3 mil (instead of 4 mil). This results in noticeably lighter handling while maintaining the same stability and durability.
Key Facts:
- New leech layout with four Square-Ply 3 mil panels
- XL power with excellent control
- High profile stability for onshore conditions
- Highly adjustable for different spots and wind ranges
- Outstanding value for money

Power meets control
The Horizon delivers solid, progressive acceleration that is easy to handle. The center of effort remains firm and stable – a big advantage in choppy onshore conditions. Heavier riders benefit from the powerful, evenly distributed pull and the clearly noticeable drive through the back hand to build speed, point high or set up perfectly for the next turn.
Fully adjustable
By adding a touch more downhaul or using the lower outhaul eyelet, the profile can be perfectly tuned: softer in response, lighter in handling and with a more neutral glide – ideal for smooth turns, controlled surfs and variable wind conditions. The balanced loose leech ensures stability in top turns, while the front profile rotates effortlessly.
Your sail for any condition
The Horizon excels in light waves and light wind just as much as in high-wind sessions. It combines the stability and drive of a power machine with the adaptability of an all-round wave sail – perfect for riders who want to get the most out of every spot and every wind.
The Horizon is your ticket to powerful turns, endless reaches and pure windsurfing fun – it delivers when you need it.
KEY FEATURES
1. DOUBLE LOCK SEAMS
Seams widened to 40 mm form the most stable connection between the panels. They are used in stress zones and areas of high tension and make the sail robust and durable.
2. SMART CLEW CONSTRUCTION
Robust construction for increased durability and even power distribution even in demanding conditions.
3. REDUCED BOOM LENGTH
A shortened boom length for more compact handling and more control.
4. MINI BATTENS
Additional mini battens for a perfectly tuned leech and even more stability in challenging conditions.
5. INTELLIGENT X-PLY MIX
No monofilm, different X-Ply and Square-Ply materials are used in the Horizon. This ensures greater durability and long-lasting profile stability.

TECHNOLOGY
▶F.R.E.D.
F.R.E.D. will help you to find the optimal downhaul trim for your sail. The mark is located in the upper sail window. Simply trim the downhaul rope until the loose leech reaches the FRED mark.
TOP GUARD
The large reinforcement at the sail top avoids abrasion and wearing out whilst rigging.
VARIO TOP
With some sails a Vario Top is used, which also allows the use of a longer mast. An additional loop is sewn on top of each sail. It serves to hook in the sail if you want to pull out the mast.
MINI BATTENS
Lightweight mini battens take control of the leech while twisting and avoid detrimental leech flutter. By that, the window fabrics are prevented from damage and the longevity of the sail is increased.
BATTEN GUARD
PVC logo labels on the batten pockets prevent wearing out and abrasion whilst rigging.
INTERNAL TRIM BATTEN
The Internal Trim Batten system is completely integrated into the batten pocket. The battens can stay tensioned in the sail. The fine adjustment ensures an optimal trim. The profiled end piece offers additional protection against abrasion. An Allen key to tension comes with each sail.
BOOM POSITION CONTROL
The printed height scale at the boom opening helps you to easily remember your personal boom position.
SLEEVE VOLUMER
The sewn PVC label keeps the mast sleeve open at the boom opening like a clasp making it easier to insert the mast.
DOUBLE LOCK SEAMS
Double seams form the most stable connection between individual panels and different materials. They are used in stress zones as well as in areas of high tension and make your sail robust and durable.
MAST FOOT PROTECTOR
The new mast foot protector offers more protection for mast and board. The loop makes it easier to pull down the sail.Through an opening, the uphaul can be conveniently guided inside the protector. There is a mesh pocket on the inside. Excess rope etc. can be stowed here.
COMFORT PULLEY
The integrated triple pulley has large easy turning stainless brass rolls which greatly reduce the effort required for sail trimming.
TRIM SETTING
The luff length is patched on the mast protector. The boom length is also printed beside the clew.
POCKET GUARD
A PVC braid sewn onto the bottom batten pocket protects the sail from abrasion when waterstarting.
STRAP ON
After rolling up the sail, simply attach the bungee rope and the sail can be stowed away easier and is more space-saving.
FOOT GUARD
All seams in the significantly stressed foot area are protected by Dacron coverings. A PVC edging at the sail foot protects the leech edge against your board’s nonslip coating.
