Taking the Easy Option

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.
