The Loft Sails Technology & Details
The Loft applies first quality sailmaking materials and detailed construction techniques and to our progressive, original designs.
For 2005 The Loft constructs all our sails with new items which make windsurfing easier with greater longevity.
Loftsails uses tri-axial laminates for all foot panels, new metallic x-grids as well as our new DuraSleeve tight-weave mast pocket material. Also new for 05 are the molded mast pad and soft, durable PVC foot edge.
The sum of Loft parts creates your progressive ride.

 An emphasis on function and longevity rather than fashion look. Panel overlap at the head, clew and tack - to maintain integrity. The clew is where one can most easily see this simple and effective building technique.

Our construction method significantly improves sail integrity with minimal weight.
