2026 Blacktip Team Carbon

We started working on the Team Carbon Project immediately when Marc came back to the Simmer Style team in the beginning of 2024. Our objectives were to utilize characteristics of the new premium materials to make the most high performance and lightest wave sail ever made by Simmer.

The new carbon scrim material has allowed us to completely redesign the panel layout, reinforcements, and luff curves. We have also worked closely with the sail factory with new production techniques, and with the material supplier to create the best specifications for our new carbon scrim.

Besides trying to make the sail lighter, we’ve been actively trying to make it stronger, by redesigning patches and reinforcements for optimal load distribution. For instance, we introduced welded carbon scrim patches to replace traditional stitched darcon in the foot panel and in the top. All to create a stronger and lighter construction.

The clew section has also been redesigned and now features overlapping clew panels. The converging carbon fibers from the panels with different warp orientations, create a stronger clew section with improved load distribution through the main panel. On top of this, we’ve also added carbon scrim batten pockets to radically improve the control and stability of the sail.

Key Performance Advantages

• Immediate response and control – carbon fibers are precisely aligned with the load paths, distributing force without delay for maximum efficiency in critical maneuvers.
• Enormous wind range – the Team Carbon is engineered for maximum efficiency at both the low and high end, giving you full control in overpowered conditions without sacrificing low-end drive.
• Effortless performance – light, balanced, and nimble in maneuvers, yet delivers instant response and explosive rotation the moment you commit.
