HotSailsMaui goes full retro

... and not like Sailworks Retro, either.

The new SummerFreak. Straight back to 1974. http://www.hotsailsmaui.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4112&action=new

Rigging specs? 465/240. Pretty much the opposite of their new foil sails which are high aspect.

Edit: Found my "when I win the lottery" foil sail: single cam SpeedFreak: http://www.hotsailsmaui.com/sail.php?uid=21 That would be lovely to sail in the summer time.

I wonder if that sail is really just a triangle sail or they did some seam shaping magic. Apparently they don't have any for sale yet - no prices listed on their web page.

I think it's a semi-custom thing. Been around a while but not exactly anything you'd normally be hunting for: http://www.hotsailsmaui.com/blog/category/products/summerfreak/ I'm sure there's a bit of magic as there is some loose fabric by the mast and Jeff Henderson is too much a perfectionist to ship anything less (judging by his kid's rigs we used).

Retro is in these days. Here is the new high speed bullet train Elon Musk is working on.
