  • Metallic cam interfaces – MCIs eliminate contact point degradation characteristic of cam designs without MCIs
  • Tubed batten structure – solid stability for the upper end

Quotes

For cambered sails, the Switchblade is still my preferred choice in the big sizes. As a lightweight rider, the lightweight, easy handling design lets me concentrate on my technique rather than the handling of the sail. That being said, my 100kg training partner also appreciates the combination of light weight and the ample power the Switchblade delivers. If you have racing aspirations, but feel the full-on racing designs is a little to much, look no further!
