2026 Ultimate 2.6 – The Foil Slalom Sail for Maximum Speed on All Courses
With the Ultimate 2.6 Foil, we introduce the latest generation of our high-performance foil sail. In developing this foil racing sail, we pulled out all the stops and essentially redesigned it from the ground up. Years of competitive experience from our national and international riders have been fully incorporated—every demand has been met.
The result: A sail that makes no compromises and delivers in every racing situation.
Explosive acceleration, maximum speed, and ultimate control
The Ultimate 2.6 is engineered for top speed through maximum control and efficiency in foil slalom. The new high-aspect outline creates an exceptionally low center of effort, maximizing control even when overpowered. The new flatter profile enables top speed on all points of sail. A redesigned leech construction with an optimized loose leech starting directly from the boom ensures outstanding control across the entire wind range. Easy handling and smooth rotation remain a given.
Optimizations for 2026:
- New high-aspect outline with an extra short boom and narrow top for maximum control when overpowered
- Extra deep-cut foot shifts the center of power downward, improving handling and control
- New flatter profile for maximum top speed and better control in gusty conditions
- Improved leech configuration for more efficient aerodynamics, delivering maximum acceleration and control
- Slimmer outline and shorter cross batten enable fast rotation with clean profile transition and smooth camber rotation
- New, lower clew position increases aerodynamic efficiency across the entire leech
- New enlarged lower window made of monofilm for maximum visibility
- New three-piece batten setup stabilizes the center of power—even in strong gusts
- Lighter 2.5 mil X-Ply in the mast sleeve reduces weight and increases profile flexibility
- X-Ply in the upper sail area reduces weight and provides a more direct riding feel
The Ultimate 2.6 Foil is the first choice for foilers seeking ultimate speed and performance combined with easy handling.
