SUPER FAST SLALOM AND SPEED SAIL WITH ALL IMPROVED CHARACTERISTICS.
OVERVIEW
We have takent the world title and world record winning Race+ to the next level. It first seemed like mission impossible to improve this speed and slalom sail that our teamriders love so much. After carefully finetuning many aspects of the sail we're absolutely thrilled to bring you the new RACE LA for the 2024 season. "LA" stand for "low aspect" ratio. This sail is a pure fin sail and a mighty power horse. It will drive you down the slalom course like nothing else and is the weapon of choice for speedsailing and GPS speed events. The deeper profile and longer boom straight keep you powered up at all times while the new release characteristics have improved the high wind control even more compared to the Race+ which has gained its repuzation on speed strips all over the world. I you're looking for a no-compromise ultra fast fin racing sail, reach for the new RACE LA.
WHAT'S NEW
UPDATES FROM RACE+ TO RACE LA:
- Steeper Batten angles for better twist, more stability and more control
- Slightly wider boom panels to compensate some power loss due to steeper battens
- Wider mast sleeve overall for a more efficient profile and better breathing
- Lighter construction for improved handling
- Three top batten tensioners in the front for less swing weight at the leech
- Graphic update with improved viewing angles 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.
PRO TIPS
HEIDI ULRICH (Worldrecord holder)
"I did my record runs on the PATRIK Race+ production speed sails and I'm extremely condident that I'll be even faster on the Race LA! The sail feels lighter and has an even wider windrange. More power in the lulls and more control in the big gusts... what else could I ask for?!"
TWAN VERSEPUT (Speedsailor)
"Insane power and control. The mighty low-end of the sail is pulling you down the speed strip and the high-end control is simply next level. These are the fastest sails I've ever used!!"
