Maxx04 Speed Sails Finish 1st and 2nd at The Phantom Nationals

by Race Team 9. October 2010 01:28

Speed Sails, using Maxx04 Speed sails finished 1st and 2nd at the Phantom Nationals.  In the closest of finishes Nick sailed a great last day to do enough to win the event on count back from Jem and Charlie Cumbley all tied on 17 points.

Speed 1 used a standard Maxx04 mainsail, the same design that Speed 2 used to win the Nationals in 2008 and improved each day to clinch the title on the last gybe mark of the last race.  Speed 2 was using our new flatter sail on the new Selden skinny mast.  He showed impressive pace in the first two races and then put the brakes on with an OCS and a few average tactical decisions.

We’re currently working on an Aeroweb sail for Speed 2 to test to destruction over the Winter.
