We present the Point-7 F1-E Hybrid Foil 2024 sail.
ELECTRYFLYING HYBRID: FROM FIN TO FOIL TO WAVE TO SLALOM!
Designed for:
Whether you’re using a foil or a fin, the most important thing is to get out on the water and have fun. The Point-7 F1-E Hybrid Foil 2024 is the perfectly balanced sail that delivers great performance whether you’re using a foil or a fin. Once you’ve decided between the wave-slalom or slalom model.
About this sail:
• Designed for foiling up to 16 knots from zero
• Designed for fin from 13 knots to 21 knots
• The only large sail you’ll need if you’re foiling for fun
• Amazing in light-wind foil conditions, amazing on fin in medium to strong conditions
• Early planing and easy handling
• 7 battens and 2 bottom cams on the 7.6 and 8.5
• 5 battens and 1 bottom cam on the 5.4 and 6.4
What's new:
A new 4.4 size has been added to the sail range.
Its Character:
Developing a sail capable of meeting all needs on a foil in winds under 16 knots and for high-speed riding on a fin from 13 knots up to 21 knots. You need to choose the type of foiling and windsurfing you prefer and consider your weight to select the right size and model.
• 7.6 and 8.5 Slalom: a full-fledged slalom sail designed to blast on any free slalom or slalom board, whether using a fin or a foil. When the sail starts to feel too big on the foil, it will spin like a true slalom sail on the fin.
• 5.4 and 6.4 Wave-slalom: The revolution in bump & jump freestyle wave, designed for tricks with both a fin and a foil on freestyle to free wave boards. Blast along at high speeds on your freestyle wave board in stronger winds and enjoy everything from basic jumps to loops, plus smooth board carving. Imagine having a bit more drive at lower wind speeds—a small cam that provides the extra power and stability, allowing you to perform all these maneuvers with much greater stability and control. A sail that’s close to one size larger holds wind like one size smaller. The 6.4 can also be used on free race or slalom boards.
On the water:
They feel just as great as any of our fin sails when used with standard windsurfing boards in medium to high winds. They’ve been designed to fit the foil without compromising your stance on the windsurfing board. The two smaller sizes feature one cam, the 7.4 has two cams, and the 8.4 has three cams. In both cases, the cams are positioned under the boom to provide drive and stability to the foil, as well as control when powered up while windsurfing. The reduced mast sleeve size over the boom makes the sail light for flying and comfortable on a fin during maneuvers. The short boom and high aspect ratio reduce backhand power while foiling, making the sail enjoyable even in stronger winds.
Materials:
1. 5-mil anti-UV X-ply base panel for protection against accidents.
2. Slalom Model: 4-mil anti-UV X-ply laminate for high responsiveness. Wave Slalom Model: 2.5-mil anti-UV X-ply laminate for light weight.
3. X-ply alternate batten pockets for lighter weight and reflex
4. Lower Dacron wide sleeve for extra power and comfort. Two cams for maximum drive and smooth rotation.
5. Anti-UV transparent gray window for a 100% anti-UV monofilm sail. All our Ply, X-ply, and Scrims monofilm are manufactured in the United States.
Target Development:
The Point-7 F1-E Hybrid Foil 2024 is positioned in the Point-7 lineup as the recreational sail for both foiling and fin riding. Designed specifically for fun and ease of use, it also offers that extra edge for both applications. Since it’s designed to perform on both a foil and a fin, you might expect the sail to be a compromise, but thanks to its smart design and the wind range in which it’s used, it will exceed all expectations.
Rigging:
The Point-7 F1-E Hybrid Foil 2024, which features cams, requires the mast to be inserted over the cams in the mast sleeve. Set the downhaul to 14 cm from the end. Position the boom head and pull the clew. Place the cams on the mast, and pull the downhaul down to the foil settings, or 3 cm for the fin setting.
