Our experience here in Australia with the renegade shows a sail that delivers half a size bigger than its area would suggest - they have great bottom end and superb onshore drive.
The renegade is also the current Australian wavesailing title winner and the sail of choice of the moroccan super freak Boujimaa - check him out in any of the latest Starboard or Severne catalogues - he is the next wavesailing freak.
This review just in from Windsurf UK.
" A clean eye-catching sail on the water thanks to the gradient colouring in the upper panel and straightforward panel layout, it incorporates all the detailing of its siblings, giving it a well engineered feel and appearance. With a large 3D moulded tack fairing, dual rip-cord (to hold the rolled sail in place), and fold over seaming in the foot, the Renegade is every bit the modern wave sail. "
Ride and Handling
On the water the Renegade provided an excellent all-round performance, with a softer more forgiving nature than either the S1 or the Blade. Balanced and easy in the hands at idle, as the wind increases and the sail is sheeted in, the play in the luff tube and Dacron luff panel enables the sail to stretch and adopt a more powerful camber, delivering smooth steady power to the board
A good all-rounder with a more progressive feel, the Renegade compliments the S1 and Blade admirably.
Plus: Progressive easy power delivery and soft easy nature.
Minus: Less wind range than its siblings.
- The Renegade is an all-round performer, providing progressive power with a soft forgiving nature; and with a clean appearance and well-engineered construction, it is built to last the most challenging conditions.
