Description

Some would say that a legend is a story that is set in stone, a grand tale of the best in the past. But MauiSails™ is not satisfied with leaving things as they were, and always seeks to bring steady improvements and performance value to their finest pure wave sail ever. 

Building off of the test and contest winning Legend range of 2009, we have taken the concept of the soft feel and slippery power to new levels. The Legend represents the cutting edge in wave sail design with a balanced forward-oriented power point for hard-driving bottom turns and flawless release twist profile for radical, gouging top turns. Stylish graphic appearance combined with structurally effective material use and location, continue to evolve in Artur Szpunar’s creative imagination. Small detail upgrades make the surface as smooth and efficient as possible. 

By evaluating the tension using a custom load cell device our design team of Barry Spanier, Phil McGain, and Artur Szpunar have been able to manage the tension/shape balance through the entire range so the feel you get from size to size is consistent and dependable. The accurate tension measurements are a superb way of gauging the stiffness or softness in relation to sail area and mast type/length. Combined with regular one-on-one water testing, it is possible to have each size deliver a common ‘feel’ so transition from one to the other is easy and dependable.

Tough new tack area skid pads, refined load point attachments for the batten tensioners, continued use of the highest grade U.S. manufactured X-ply materials in 100% of the sail body, and new batten tapers especially designed around the softer shapes all contribute to the legendary evolution and should bring a smile to any dedicated wave sailor interested in being part of the MauiSails experience for 2010.
