Black is beautiful For 2021, Contender changed their yellow aramid fiber for black. From now on, all our Finn sails are black, even if the models remain the same. MAXX makes a very smooth and adjustable sail. It has proven to be versatile and easy to use in all kinds of winds, and longer lasting than the radial designs.
Our Finn sail models:
NEO: A powerful all-purpose sail, for world class & olympic sailors. More forgiving in choppy seas than the Classic. Shapewise, the NEO is a bit rounder in the upper leech than the Classic. With softer battens in light winds, the leech can get very rounded, but can be straightened up with stiffer battens in a breeze.
NEOMARK: A slightly flatter version of the Neo sail, preferred by smaller world class & olympic sailors weighing less than 95 kg.
CLASSIC: A powerful sail for light & medium winds, for world class & olympic sailors. Excels in light to medium airs and flat water. Often completed with the BMARK or Panther for heavier winds, but used in all winds by many strong & experienced sailors.
BMARK: A slightly flatter version of the Classic sail, preferred by smaller world class & olympic sailors weighing around 90 kg. Many use it also as a hard wind sail to complement the Classic.
Tiger: An easier to hang down, all purpose sail, very popular amongst masters. More open leech, a less physical sail than the Classic.
Panther: A heavy air version of Tiger, in all black MAXX with a 1,5 mil film. Often the second sail choice for masters, extremely robust and long lasting.
Pls. note that we are constantly developing our sails, and there may be variations without notice in the models above .
