ALL IMPROVED PURE FOIL RACING SAIL FOR SLALOM AND COURSE RACING.
OVERVIEW
After the amazing success of the Foil S2 it wasn't easy to design a foil sail that performs better in all aspects and is not just different. With the intense combined efforts of our whole R&D crew and sail designer Patrik Diethelm we've completed this honestly difficult mission successfully and were exceeding our own expectations by far. Based on the revolutionary concept of the Foil S2 the all new RACE HA outperforms everything we've ever seen in foil racing. "HA" stands for "high aspect" and the even more extreme high aspect design has been the key to even more efficiency, more control, more top speed and more overall performance. The redesigned lower foot balances the sail out for prefect flight stability. Backhand-pressure has been carefully reduced further to give you a more neutral sail in the gusts while the low-end of the sail improved. As the sail sizes get smaller we shiftet the design goal carefully from pure course racing in the big sizes to slalom and speed-slalom and long-distance in the smallest sizes. One set of foil sails that does it all for you!
If you want the most advanced foil racing sail out there then look no further and try the new RACE HA for Foil Course Racing, Foil Slalom and Foil Speed.
Ride the excact same sail than our PWA Pros Michele Becker, Alex Cousin, Marion Mortefon and Noah Vinther.
WHAT'S NEW?
The new Race HA is based on our worldcup-race winning Foil Sail the Foil S2.
The following improvements have been implemented to create a sail that is even better to control, has a wider wind range, improved low-end AND extended high-end. We are extremely proud and happy to present you a new sail that beats its predecessor in all aspects and is a real beauty on top:
- More high aspect ratio (longer luff, same boom length)
- Lower foot for improved efficiency (close the gap)
- Steeper batten angles for better release characteristics
- Wider sleeve at the top for more power and improved aerodynamics
- Lighter construction for better jibing and easier handling
- 3 top batten tensioners in the front to reduce swing weight
- New graphics with widely improved view area for the rider

CONSTRUCTION
The sail construction has been carefully optimised to save weight where you feel it the most without compromising on the stiff frame of the sail, that creates the incredible power and control our racing sails have.
The three top batten tensioners have been moved to the front to reduce the swing weight at the leech and let the top part of the sail breathe more freely.
Reinforcements have been optimised and new materials have been chosen to bring you the perfect strengh-to-weight ratio. Our sails will last you many many races and sessions without wearing and stretching and without becoming impossible to ride after only months like some competitors ultra light sails. With PATRIK you buy a solid quality built sail that's been designed with Swiss precision and that's been fully tested in detail by our R&D team.
ALEX COUSIN (Sails R&D)
"After months of hard work we completed the hard task of significantly improving the FoilS2, by many opionions the best foil sail of the 2023 season. The result is the all new RaceHA. We could increase the efficiency but adding luff length and at the same time improve the high-end control. The RaceHA got an even bigger windrange than the FoilS2 and feels much lighter in your hands. While the big sizes replace the Foil+ and are true course racing machines, the medium and small sizes are our PWA and DEFI weapons to win foil races."
NICO WAREMBOURG (2x DEFI winner)
"My favourite sail for the DEFI has made another step forward. If you've loved the FoilS2 the RaceHA will blow your mind. More efficiency, better control, bigger wind range and a nice and light feeling."
MICHELE BECKER (5th PWA Overall 2023)
"The new RaceHA is my weapon of choice for the PWA season 2024. The sails look beautiful but more importanly they feel insane: so fast, so stable in the air and light in the hands. I cannot wait to hit the race course with these beauties."
