Just scored a new 7.0 Indy (two cams)

never been a fan of the naish sails, I think they're ugly and the guys I'd seen sailing them here never seemed that fast on the water.

But with the Naish store doing a closure sale I couldn't resist a bargain at 200$ for a brand new sail !!
(And must admit that though I already have a titan gs 7.0, I was not convinced either by that maui sail)
Rigged it yesterday on a 4.30 loft 100% rdm + 28 ext

Real easy to rig, only one titanium ring on the out haul, the bottom of the sleeve is a bit tight and doesn't open(not that I care)

Took me a bit of time to get rid of the wrinkles, (in fact took me a while to figure that you have to unscrew to tighten on the naish sails)

Picked it up and was stunned to see how light it was !!

Even lighter once on the water, no back hand, no pulling from the front, incredibly stable, and the two cams give a real deep profile, I was blasting in seconds !!
Handled the chop very nicely, then came the first gybe, perfect !!!!
Nice transition, excellent rotation and powerful restart !

Sailed for a little hour until my toe started hurting again, by then I'd clocked 32 knots in a choppy bay with a broken toe !!

So all in all a great sail for those looking for something smooth and light to handle.

Bonus you get a sheet of stickers and a naish key ring with it
Con : I still think it's ugly !!!!
Pro : it's not that slow as I managed to keep up with our local champ on one tack (just one)

Sorry Tassie, sold out, all Naish boards were 600$ and all Naish sails 200 $
(bought three sails/one carbon boom/one 4.90 75% mast/one F4 fin/ 2 sets of harness lines and 3 neo rashies for 1500 $)

Patrick boards going for 1000$ and hot sails just over 200$

What is the normal price for boards and sails in NC? The prices you quote seem quite amazing. I'm not sure if this is the same sail that I saw in a Naish video. It was a good looking sail.

In general we have lower prices than in Oz, no distributors, the shops are the direct importers.
As I wrote above this was a closure sale, so all prices were marked down by 40% and some (like the boards) at 50%
Ex a 115 l Nitrix or 90 l grand prix @ 600 $

as for the review I went out yesterday with my 6.0 gps (3 cams) didn't feel as well locked in as the indy...
Would not have thought I would enjoy it as much, as I said I just bought it cause it was cheap and would be a replacement if I was to damage the titan. Now the Titan is sleeping in the garage
