Description
This is the lightest freerace nocam sail on the market yet with reflexive (instead of spongy) feeling.
The DUOTONE-E_PACE SLS was born from a very ambitious design briefing Based on the incredibly versatile original DUOTONE-E_PACE the goal for the SLS version was to achieve a racier feeling combined with improved acceleration and power compared to other no-cam freerace sails.
Following the SLS philosophy we also wanted to create the lightest no-cam freerace film sail on the market but without sacrificing the durability. The outcome is simply spectacular as the E_PACE SLS is the fastest and lightest no-cam freerace sail we have every made.
Product code -14240-1210
A more forward oriented draft position gives the E_PACE SLS a racy feeling very similar to the S_PACE or WARP. To prevent this forward motion from creating a catapult tendency, the leech is slightly more open which also improves the high-end control (= v-max). The intelligent use of CARBON XPLY in the high load clew and top area results in the most effective conversion of wind energy into forward motion. However, the slightly more (re)flexing regular XPLY in the body avoids the power from becoming uncontrollable.
A common characteristic from many other no-cam freerace sails is to significantly compromise low-end performance in search of top end speed. To avoid this we increased the pre-shaping of the sail which improves the acceleration and power despite the opened-up leech.
Another milestone of the intensive development is a weight reduction of a whopping 500g making the DUOTONE-E_Pace SLS the lightest no-cam freerace film sail on the market.
Attention: 1. The increased pre-shaping requires a higher outhaul tension than the original E_PACE (approx. 2 cm more eyelet tension = 8 cm more rope tension). This additional pre-shaping also means that the lower battens of E_ PACE SLS will not rotate as easy as the original E_ PACE in non-planing/drifting conditions. Or in other words the E_ PACE SLS requires a more active jibing technique over the backhand. 2. Because the E_ PACE SLS is a more uncompromising performance sail than the original E_ PACE it has a smaller downhaul trim range

ATTENTION: since the mast geometry and length (= stiffness) depend on the sail design, size and luff curve the sails will NOT work with any masts outside the recommendations!
Ordered a pair of open palm mitts .My hands are quite warm wearing then and I am not getting any arm fatigue . Order and delivery no problem so very happy with my purchase
Service levels from Sam and his team spot on, I’m getting back into windsurfing so needed loads of advice. (20 years off )Genuinely helpful and friendly would happily recommend to anyone needing kit.
Kit all landed next day in perfect condition. Rigged with Sam’s help over the phone to see how it all works. Not sailed it yet as it’s too cold for me….
Brilliant, placed order for shark master pump nozzle replacement- came within a couple of days. Easy to navigate website, quick turnaround. Will definitely come back.
Great experience buying a kayak & seat from Worthing Watersports. Very competitive prices, good communication and very nice & helpful people at the store when I picked up. Definitely recommend.
Bought a windsurf board. Communication throughout was brilliant. I enquired about a foil for the board too and Sam cam back to me with a full kit list and advice on what to get.
Great place to buy from!
After a hiccup with the delivery arrangements , Sam and team redeemed themselves following up with very good after sales service. 👍 some things are worth the wait 🤙
The service is good and despite staff being rather busy they gave me an idea of what hardware is required from kite surfing. They put me on to L1 kite surfing school.
