The YES Slalom is our new high performance sail with no cambers. Why no cambers? Because with today's high technology, camber inducers only help competitive racers, with a small advantage in a range of use, far outside of a normal conditions. Cambered sails are heavier, cost more and are more difficult to rig and to trim, are less maneuverable and are stiffer. Modern camberless sails, are more flexible and plane earlier and are easier to pump, allowing to use a smaller size. Jibing and during maneuvers there is no comparison. Performance and stability in strong wind is equal with that of camber sails if tension in the sail and the leech are co working correctly. The 2006 model ha some minor adjustments in profile and luffcurve to further enhance an already almost perfect sail. The construction features a double luff panel to concentrate the profile in the front of the sail. The leech is of a new superlight X-Ply, and has a uniform tension distribution which enhances a perfect twist. The new Slalom is very powerful and very stable. Comparing it with the Free 04, which already was working well on slalom boards, the new Slalom is way faster. The foot of the sail has a particular negative shape, in order to stay free of the back foostrap. Best mast: for the highest performances, without a doubt, is the YES Performance 100, Performance 75 is also working very well.
