Condition: Perfect
the Cross has the fantastic light, crisp handling characteristics we have come to expect from it over the years, but this year it also generates a good deal of bottom end power to boot. The power is precise and focused rather than soft, and the Dacron luff panel has an elastic limit enabling the sail to breathe and be pumpable as well. It is surprising how efficient it actually is, as the boom length is significantly shorter than others. As the wind increases, apply more tension and the power is locked low in the sail, providing excellent top-end stability. It is a fast comfortable sail for straight-line-blasting work, happily partnering a freerace, even slalom, platform. But that only tells half the story. It is in manoeuvres that the compact crisp nature of the sail really comes into its own. It would make a perfectly reasonable ‘largest sail’ in a wave quiver, providing the bottom end power to make the most of marginal winds, yet not feeling out of place on a wave face, where it can be de-powered easily to go neutral in the hands.A real chameleon of a sail, with great appeal to a wide spectrum of sailors and uses.
A fast and very compact feeling sail, with a crisp power delivery and precise handling.
