2012 Loft Blade RB

The sail for longboard w/centerboard courseboard racing!

$899.00 — $959.00

Sizes : 8.5  9.5

Pure Raceboard competition- completely re-designed for 2012, the Blade RB has a long history in raceboard competitions.
Courseboard racing (longboards with centerboards) need specific designs that drive upwind in displacement mode, then blast downwind in full planing mode- with the mastfoot moved to the rear of the mast track.
Blade RB full body curves push in low-end power, Blade RB trim reactivity allows the RB to streamline for upper-end ease. The 5-batten Loftsails Blade RB is competitive course racing made easy.

  • Blade mast pocket construction: mast panel AND pocket sides (3 elements) tensioned directly; equalized loading-  firm, clean, easy-rotating leading edge.
-Alternate side batten pocket applications with xply pockets (centered battens).
  • Sensitip head batten system.
  • PX05 upper body panels.
  • ITS Internal Batten Tensioning System: top 3 all-carb tube battens with the batten tensioners located at the front, behind the mast.  Weight optimization for extreme leech response.
  • Tekcams- simple, functional, light, adjustable, durable.  Sdm & Rdm compatibility.  3 Tekcams built into all Racing Blade sizes.
  • Metallic cam interfaces.
-Blade RBs are engineered with “Super tubes”; 100% carbon battens in specific locations.
