Strongest & weakest wave sails

my favourite sails are built for windsurfing.

i think the point was so the ezzy sailors could blow off some steam

if ur such a hero then put up your pick.

gutless.

Geez your a sensitive little ****er!
I haven't sailed every model of every brand so it's a bit hard to say.
But I'd say that the Goya sails certainly look strong. They've got what looks like some serious reinforcing in the panel layout, but like I say I haven't tried all sails, the Goya's included, so I can't say for sure.
I know a lot of guys that really give their Severne's a workout and haven't seen any fall apart, so I'm pretty sure they're strong sails.
As for MauiSails, I ride the full x-ply Legend wave sails and I've never had any issue with them and considering in Australia they have a 0% warranty claim rate, I'm thinking that they are probably one of the strongest on the market.
Mind you I've owned Mauisails, North, Gaastra, NeilPryde, Hotsails Maui and a couple of customs from the late eighties and never had a problem with any of them as far as durability goes.
Sail feel, control and reactiveness is a differnent story, but by the sound of your topic you're not after a 'good' sail, just a strong one!

Muzza

i dont really rate ezzys. i snapped a mast in one and the whole bloody mast sleeve tore from top to bottom making the sail unusable even tho no palen had gone! b**l**** i recon.

NP's are always dependable. combats are sweet

I've had good results with Naish Force sails, though one had the clew grommet pull out the first time I sailed it (the sail was getting worked in beach break, but nothing dramatic).

Naish replaced the sail as a warranty claim.

So manufacturers have different warranty policies depending on which country you're in? I must have missed reading 'only in America' in the fine print.
Warranties cover faults in material and manufacture, they can't say we won't cover it because you used your wave sail in the surf. If it's got a fault it's got a fault.
I'm pretty sure if you took a new sail out in the surf and a panel blew out or something similar you'd be taking it back to the dealer.
The only argument you could have against using the warranty rate is how good the company is with honoring warranties. In this case, they are very good, some other brands are not so good!

*Just to clarify one point in your response. Warranties aren't given by 'retailers', they are given by manufacturers. It's not up to the retailer to make the call.
