The Blacktip performance caters to riders seeking to maximize every opportunity, especially during heated moments. With a higher aspect ratio and increased batten distance, the new sail is ultra-responsive, offering added backhand throttle for quick loading and release. Among its standout traits, the Blacktip boasts an extensive wind range, maintaining stability even in heavy gusts. Its sailing style demands commitment compared to the new Evoq, yet it enables maneuvers of greater magnitude, granting an extra boost for speed, distance, and height.
In its 2024 iteration, the Blacktip introduces the innovative Q2-Ply in the foot and clew panel, 20% lighter than X-Ply while maintaining equal strength. The simplified panel layout strategically avoids load-crossing seams, ensuring optimal force distribution. The Q-Ply luff panel ensures a seamless power delivery, complemented by the vertical kevlar load line, which manages central effort and enhances performance durability.
