REDBACK_SCALED DOWN PERFORMANCE
Size matters.
The next generation Redback delivers tailor-made performance for the smaller rider. Lower clew and boom cutout, as well as a lower skin tension to suit lightweight sailors – the Redback is ultralight and balanced.
By matching the rig’s geometry with rider height, control and performance are enhanced. A blend of Blade stability and control with the flex and softness of the S-1. The RedBack is a real flexing performance sail, not just a replica.
Not only an afterthought, the Redback sports technology that enables even the smallest riders to push their limits. Available as a package for simplicity and compatibility. Or as separate components, all designed around smaller rider ergonomics. All sizes use a 4-batten layout for noticeable stability and control.
All sizes use premium eM3 materials for accelerated performance.

“The Redback is light and easy to handle.
The boom cut-out and clew positions allow
me to adjust to fine-tune the sail to my height.
And I love the color combo.“

TECHNOLOGY
EM3
Combining the performance of the e-series materials with maximum durability. The addition of a pre-preg polyester scrim has provided unique tear resistant characteristics.
Off-axis loads are carried through the 22-degree X-ply fibres. The red and new blue adhesive maintain the UV resistance and tear strength, while the reduced film thickness significantly reduces the weight.
The use in the upper panels reduces not only the overall sail weight, but also the swing weight, aiding manoeuvrability and control.

THERMOFORMED TACK FAIRING
Protects your board from impact and neatly covers the foot detailing. It incorporates the rope stash pocket for easy storage of your downhaul rope.
MOLDED SOFT EDGE
With recessed grooving, covering any vulnerable stitching the moulded soft edge encloses the hard edge long the foot of the sail and protects the stitching from wear along the board non-skid.
