Sheet? I know there's a gybe marker around here some where???? crash

Even the Italians are bright enough to figure out you need a little window to see in their Bogan sails

I have never used the windows in my sails in most cases you can't see through them properly. I always look around the mast.

No, that was mean of me. I actually have one (slightly older model) and love it.

The blog site says this customised sail is available with or without a window. Having more colourful sails can't be a bad thing.

Good on 'em for trying something different.
IMHO, if you can make a good sail out of Dacron, you can make a better one out of Monofilm/Monofilm-Scrim.

From the blog, Hot Sails Maui already make a version of this sail in those materials. This custom sail is for someone who wants a sail that stands out from the crowd.

The Super Freaks especially the Ultra-light version which is made with kite cloth absorbs the gusts making for a very smooth comfortable ride. You tend to go faster when you have a smooth comfortable ride. Combining that with the Xply to take the download as in the speed freak I think would create a very comfortable fast sail which would also add a bit of colour back into windsurfing.

LOL it is most likely a very dark blue or green! I think it would look better on the water in red or orange.
