1- The Black metalized monofilm, produced in the US,

completely blocks the suns UV-Rays. The damaging

effect of the UV, which normally burns transparent

monofilm, is thus eliminated. The added metalized

particles help to reflect heat from the sun and added thickness of the material

guarantees durability. The overall look of the sails will

therefore not change with time and usage.

2-After 252 hour sun exposure, the UV resistant window material fades only 10%. Another inovative progress made by P7 in the spirit of delivering the best quality products by supplying sails that will stay new with time.

3- All seams on the mast sleeve are external. Extra inner mast sleeve protection is inserted on the front

side of the pocket to protect against mast abrasion during mast

insertion.

4- Hidden radial Kevlar disperse system . Maximal structural sail integrity in the toughest wave conditions.

5-Mini leech battens ; Aerodynamic rods mini battens sewn directly into

the upper sections of the sail for added stability and durability to the

leech. Takes control of the leech while twisting

Page 9: Point-7 Sail Features

6- On selected sail sizes there will be equipped with vario top. 2 sets of exchangeable webbings are included; 1 length for recommended mast, 1 for compatible mast length. Aerodynamic solid rubber protection minimizes abrasion whilst rigging. Includes a de-rigging loop rope.

7-Boom opening system: a nylon band added to the mast sleeve at the

boom opening, add for easy threading of the

mast into the luff pocket.

8-KEVLAR™ X-PLY Leech construction: lightweight and ultra

strong leech construction using Kevlar X-Ply for stability and durability

applied specifically in the areas where the monofilm

directly meets the leech

9-Batten tension system which offer a wide adjustment range. Made to be as

aerodynamics as possible with the batten pocket. The battens can be kept tensioned all

the time. The fine tuning is done using the enclosed Adams key. Outside rubber protection on both sides of the batten

adjustment , to protect the sail from abrasion.

10-Hidden seems: This is done to protect the base seams from

abrasion on the non-skid area of the board

11-3D tack faring; mast foot protector made in thermo foam,

which offer optimal guard for mast, board and rider.

cover up all pulleys and base elements.

3 roller brass pulley in sail for easy downhaul

13-The P7 trim system makes it easy to have the perfect tuning no matter

what extension being used. Place the extension on the marks indicated on

the foot of the sail and take reference from the drawing for correct position of

the extension ring.

Compact boom length: improves stability through

moving the clew attachment point closer to the mast.

Improves to lock in the draft by giving it less scope to

move around. Shortening the boom length without changing the length of the sail which is

maintained by the cross batten. When the sail is raked back, it’s also preventing the

boom-end from hitting the water on large sail sizes. All these advantages give more stability and control over the

performance of the sail, executing faster speeds,

powerful acceleration, lighter feel and easy control.

Camber with 4 peripheral

rollers . Guarantees a

very smooth rotation of the sail. Leaving no abrasion

marks on the mast or in the mast sleeve.

The camber is resting on a

stainless steel metal brace, securing the

structural integrity of the sail sleeve

and batten structure.

Optimizing the connection

between batten, sail and camber

for better and more uniform

rotation.

By placing the cambers in true 90° to the mast,

the batten pressure is more evenly displaced

onto the mast and thus helping also with rotation

as all camber rollers are in full

contact.

The sails have been designed to have the battens staying behind the mast when rigged on the beach.

This might make them see flat when not in use(Photo 1). Once the sail enters the wind, the mast is bending

bringing a very homogeneous profile (photo 2). As shown on the photo, the profile is very clean, reproducing the efficiency of a cambered profile sail while windsurfing.

This profile forms thanks to the development done on the mast sleeve curve. This profile system brings big

advantages to our no cam sails. On each sail line different profiles are being used, but by using this same system.

Generally the sail feels lighter in the hands as all the profile is distributed along the width of the boom length.

As the mast is staying bent the whole time in the wind, the profile does not move and this gives full stability in strong

wind, and more efficiency through the low wind. During manoeuvres, the sail & mast will not catch wind, and the

profile will return flat: this will allow to have a complete neutral, forgiving and easy sail during transitions. As the

battens are staying behind the mast, during change of tack, the rotation of the battens is completely free and

smooth.

This system has brought our AC-0 over 40knots of GPS speed and the wave sails having a great wind range a

complete forgiving character. A step ahead profile system to no cam sails.
