The GPS 2013 is a maximum performance sail for slalom, course racing and speed. Amazing stability allows the rider to handle more power, which is easily controlled and converted into forward drive. We listened to our worldwide racing team and hence the 2013 version has seen major updates with new materials, carbon battens, new profile shaping, higher cut foot & the addition of a fourth camber, the result is a race sail that is 20% lighter, faster, more stable and easier to handle than ever before. Winning races just got a whole lot easier! The GPS 2013 incorporates our 3D shaping technique and High Performance Airfoil Camber (HPAC) which together improve airflow across sail and promote dynamic twist. Slalom racing is more than just straight line speed and it was important to optimize the sail to improve the performance around a course, hence we softened the rotation and reduced the area under the boom with a shorter and re-shaped foot. The GPS is registered and ready for the 2013 PWA season and will excel in the hands of expert riders. Optimized for use with our new 100% Carbon ULTRA masts the GPS is a no compromise racing machine which will enable you to win races on any set course.
