Inspiration
In the development of this 'beauty' no stone has been left unturned.
The Machine M-1 is the result of a relentless eleven month development cycle of prototyping and testing, both in the lab, and on the water... It incorporates sophisticated design elements never before properly implemented in windsurfing.
Every brand in existence today will claim that they have the "best" high-performance racing sail on the market. All bias aside, the performance of this new weapon from Avanti is unmistakable.
Welcome to the Machine...
Performance
The Machine M-1 has an array of features unmatched in windsurfing today.
- The sail body consists of a custom 100% Technora fiber loadpath membrane weighing in 15% under anything else in the marketplace.
- Mid-body fiber is spaced wide, while at the corners Technora DPI increases to match natural load concentrations.
- 7 real carbon tube battens (6.9-10.0), 6 carbon tube battens (5.5-6.1) provide a rock-solid skeleton.
- Proprietary lamination process utilizes computer laid fiber and the the most high-tech adhesive available.
- Coming in four sizes, brand new Avanti Arc Cams feature extra round sidewalls that add camber at the critical leading edge.
- Premium Avanti CZL luff sleeve material gives exactly the right elasticity, durability and response.
- Lightweight overlapping batten pockets yield rig and performance symmetry.
- Patent pending 'C-Clip' clew closure system makes rigging a snap.
- A full range of new plastics, including batten tensioners, headcaps and cam shims all purpose built.
- Super lightweight 'Nylatron' tack pulley wheels save weight and allow easy downhauling.
Result
Direct. Light. Fast.
The performance on the water is unbeatable.
- Insane wind range with excellent performance in all conditions.
- Super light feeling in the hands, as if one was sailing a considerably smaller sail.
- Large downhaul and outhaul adjustment ranges 'within the zone' for optimum tuning in every wind and sea state.
- Unbeatable planing and acceleration away from gybe marks and traffic areas.
- Less physical pumping required due to the crisp reflex of the string membrane body.
- Tight web of Technora fibers throughout the body laminate creates an unbeatable rip-stop material vs. monofilm
