It's all about speed, cruising, and slalom racing in a versatile cam/no-cam package. The Hammer proved itself when an off-the-rack Hammer 7.6 and a stock F-2 board, chased one of the world's fastest (and 11-time world champion) sailors all over the speed course in Germany -- despite the fact that the champ was on custom speed gear he could not shake the Hammer! The Hammer is a very fast, smooth and stable sail designed with speed and early planing in mind. This sail makes extensive use of Windwing's 3DTwist technology to give unparalleled control in gusty conditions. The Hammer works equally well in optional twin-camber induced, or no-cam mode. In cammed mode the Hammer has a "locked in" feeling of extreme stability and speed. In the no-cam mode the Hammer feels slightly looser, for easy and fun transitions, jumps, and hassle-free rigging. New for 2009 is the Hammer RDM (Reduced Diameter Mast). Designed around the skinny mast and made lighter with double-tipped carbon battens, the Hammer RDM has greater range because of the reduced diameter mast, it is smooth and light, responsive and stable, a joy to ride and a definite standout out on the water. So don't just smoke your friends, beat 'em with a Hammer or Hammer RDM!
