Simmer introduce the all new lighter and stronger Competition Race Sail…

Simmer Competition Race
The new SCR presents the cutting edge of race sail design, with the optimal symmetry between aerodynamics, material selection and design. A symmetry defined by our goal, to create the best Competition Race sail in the world.

For 2012 the we have reduced the negative shape on the battens above the boom to get a tighter leach, this improves the accelerations and gives better pointing ability. We have refined the luff curve in the top half of the sail for better acceleration. We have reduced physical weight above batten #6 by applying more 2 MIL Q-Ply. The softer nature of the Q-Ply allows the sail to twist when gusts hits the sail, effectively you keep the advantages of better acceleration and better pointing ability from the tighter leach without loosing control on the higher wind segments.

Our Symmetric Batten Pocket Design offers major performance advantages. They create a perfect aerodynamic symmetry on both tacks of the sail, as well as reducing the weight and increasing the strength by using less seams and material. In addition, The Kevlar Stretch Control tendon allow for a deeper sail profile in the lower part of the sail, keeping the sail integrity intact when the stronger gusts hit you, delivering a remarkable powerful and stable performance.
