Description:

The SpeedFreak is a sail which was developed by Jeffrey Henderson in conjunction with our 
forum participants. The idea was to make a SuperFreak for light wind flat-water sailing in the same style as our Dacron® SuperFreak and we are thrilled with the result. The SpeedFreak is an amazingly smooth riding sail. It is much easier to sail than a comparable monofilm freeride sail as the Dacron® absorbs the gusts, and the sail can be pumped onto a plane in very little wind. The ride is completely quiet and jibing is so smooth you would never guess you on a speed type sail. The sail is not critical of your sailing style either. If your harness lines are a little out of balance, or your outhaul is slightly to tight or too loose, this sail can work with you. It turns lighter wind sailing into a completely low stress pleasure. It is no slouch for top end speed either, having its outline and shaping based on our universally loved Speed Demon sail.


Sail Features: 

The main body of the sail is made of 3 different weight Dacrons with the high-tension downhaul supported with 125 micron Polyant/Dimension X-Ply®. The sail is available with or without a PVC window.

Taking the Easy Option
rod rudduck (auckland, ) 3/3/2013 8:58 PM
By easy, I mean easy to rig, easy to carry, easy to sail. Easy to have maximum fun. I was first introduced to the wonders of Dacron via the Superfreak, and even though I'm still using my trusty 2008 7.0m, unfortunately, most of my sailing is done on flat water using large sails, and the larger Superfreaks just weren't performing as well as I would have liked for that purpose. But I did not want to go back to monofilm. Fortunately, I wasn't the only one looking for a sail combining the softness and ease of use of the Superfreak with the flatwater speed and stability of the Speed Demon. The Speed Freak has all the great qualities of the Superfreak. It's easy to rig, relatively light, quiet to sail and very colourful. But it is also very stable, relatively fast, and lovely to jibe. I have the 8.5m and 7.5m and just this afternoon rode my new 6.5m for the first time. They are definitely more like a Speed Demon than a SuperFreak for their flat water performance, but have none of the negatives of monofilm sails. For ultimate power and speed at all costs, the GPS and GP2 are still probably the better option, but for general free riding or racing your mates, I can't recommend them enough.
