RDM vs. SDM
The bend curve of the SDM and RDM’s are compatible with one another, but the RDM’s are more durable, therefore more suitable for punishing wave conditions. SDM’s provide a faster reflex response, better stability, and faster acceleration, especially in lengths of 460 cm or longer, therefore more suitable for flatwater sailing in the larger sizes.

 Six Batten Layout
Six Batten Layout in all sizes for a stable and powerful freeride and freerace experience. With great low-end grunt for quick up n’go combined with superb stability, the V Max is the best choice for the sailor who wants a camber-free, lightweight freerace sail.

Kevlar Stretch Control Tendons
The Kevlar Stretch Control Tendons distribute the load throughout the surface of the sail from clew to luff. They control the breaking point for the twist, increase the wind range, and increase the longevity of the sail. An original Simmer Style feature that has been widely adopted by many other sail brands.

Precision Tapered Battens
The lower two battens feature a custom-designed taper, specifically tuned for each sail size, to push the sail profile forward and keep the draft locked in for stability. This offers you race-like performance at no cost of effortless handling.

 

 

Cutaway
The cutaway clew has an extremely positive influence on the sail’s agility and handling, and allows for a shorter, more rigid boom, as well as more direct acceleration.

Finger Patch Tendons
The Finger Patch Tendons in clew create greater load distribution over a larger area of the sailcloth surface, which increases the durability using a lighter construction, as well as the direct handling of the sail.
