2010 Loft Sails O2 - Wind Magazine
Wind Magazine France 2010 tests March 2010
The Loft O2 Freeride 6.6 “TESTERS CHOICE”
“A SURE VALUE”
"Monty is an RDM design addict, and demonstrates this again with the O2 freeride. It is the only sail in this test group with a reduced diameter mast (RDM) recommended.
On the water:
The very first thing we note on this sail is the sweetness on the water compared with its concurrents. We feel then his maneuverability and finesse and realize this sail can go very fast.
Monty created a sail that does not need to be pushed hard to work well- a very positive point that gives this sail easy accessibility.
In strong winds and choppy water it is very easy to control, and is clearly easier and more "tolerent" than the average.
When overpowered, we can open the back hand to reduce the power, and we keep good speed potential.
The sail softness helps a lot to to keep the sail workable- even in hard conditions, or over powered. The O2 enjoys a fine feeling with maneuverability- assisted by its RDM mast."

I'll pimp this sail. I bought a 2009 O2 freeride 7.4 secondhand and just love it. Very tunable from fat flat to twisted blade - good for my 95kgs from 10 to 20 knots.
Quality throughout.
Value +++++++
I think I am going to switch my full quiver to Loft - I love this price competition and I'm looking to support it.
