infoa purjeesta

A familiar concept – unique execution. Women, young rippers and smaller riders up to 160 cm in height often struggle with regular sails because of their stature, strength and limited lever forces. At the same time they are often more talented surfers than others, so they are right to demand a full-featured and easy-to-control rig. For these individuals we have specifically developed the NOW – a highly lightweight, powerful and high-quality performance handling sail developed based on the current SUPER HERO model yet adapted so it can be used by smaller/lighter riders with ease. While most sail brands use the same layouts and materials for grom and women sails as in their adult-sized sails for reasons of simplicity (e.g. the heavy X.PLY), we do things differently. Thanks to the years of collaboration with all the big windsurfing schools (e.g. VDWS, ION Club, FBC), we have taken advantage of their wealth of knowledge to design the NOW. The magnificently balanced shape, lightweight monofilm and sophisticated mix of materials in the iMODULAR DESIGN guarantee low weight AND durability.

NOW

CONVEX DACRON LUFF-PANEL
Straighter luff curve, 3-batten-layout and our CONVEX DACRON LUFF-PANEL all result in a softer sail ideal for lighter riders
SUPER LIGHTWEIGHT
3-batten-layout, LIGHT PROTECTOR, eyelet instead of tack roller and our WEIGHT OPTIMIZED PANEL-LAYOUT all result in a super lightweight ideal for smaller-frame riders
VTS 2.0
Optional QUICK RIGGING PATCH allows "to the spot" trimming without even looking to the top (patent pending)
HOLLOW LOWER LEECH
Hollow Lower Leech (scooped leech outline) stabilises the profile right above the boom and prevents leech fluttering
XPLY PLUS
Laminate (100/150 micron) with the lowest stretch and best UV- and puncture resistance on the market
TRI PLY
Tri Ply foot panel (150 micron) additional 3rd thread direction increases rip-stop ability by 30%
Epoxy Battens
Unbreakable Epoxy Battens
iROCKET 2.0
Factory calibrated individual batten tensions using a torque wrench

Mast bend curve and Sail-Mast compatibility

At DUOTONE we use a Medium Constant Curve for our masts (our bend percentages range between 61-63 bottom and 75-77 top depending on model and length). As this curve sits right in the middle within Constant Curve masts it offers the biggest compatibility of any bend curve. This makes our masts and sails the most compatible on the market.

Here is how good other brand masts work with Duotone sails and vice versa

80-90% (depending on model and size): Challenger Sails, Ezzy, GA (2017 on), Goya, Gun Sails, KA Sails, Loft Sails, Naish Sails, NeilPryde (RDM masts), RRD, S2Maui, Sailloft, Sailworks, Severne (2014 on).
70-80% (depending on model and size): Hot Sails, NeilPryde (SDM masts), Point7, Simmer Style, Chinook.
Not compatible: Avanti, Gaastra (until 2016), Maui Sails, Severne (until 2013).
