Loftsails Raceboardblade OD

The Raceboardblade OD integrates the extensive experience and development of the Loftsails raceboard team, delivering performance in light to medium wind conditions for both novice and experienced sailors in a competitive, cost-effective design.

Based on the Loftsails Raceboardblade ULW range, the Raceboardblade OD retains the key profile and design elements that made the original so successful on the racecourse. Available in 6.5, 7.5, and 8.5 sizes, the Raceboardblade OD mirrors the ULW range with optimized vertical curves, horizontal shapes, and leech release for excellent upwind and downwind capabilities.

The main window and upper body have been modified to include monofilm panels. The profile is stabilized by a 3-cam and a 5 fiberglass rod and tube battens setup, creating a super light frame that is particularly suited for lighter winds and offers excellent pumping response.

The OD mast pocket is constructed using different materials: the upper part is made of dacron, while the lower pocket is cut from SU250. It features the original Blade mast pocket design, which includes three layers (two pocket sides and an interior mast panel) all tensioned by the downhaul. This unique Loftsails design equalizes downhaul tension between the mast panel and mast pocket, resulting in a firm, easy-rotating leading edge

All sizes feature Loftsails? signature trim sensitivity within their respective wind ranges, ensuring maximum performance and responsiveness.
While the "OD" in Raceboardblade OD stands for "One Design," this designation anticipates future possibilities if the line proves successful. Achieving One Design class status involves meeting specific requirements, which are currently not in place but may be pursued based on the product′s reception and performance
