Informations
Given to be the fastest sail for 2016 by windsurfing magazines, with no negative comments, from there we developed even further this 2017 Point-7 AC-One racing monster! The name AC-One derives simply from the initials and sail number of Andrea Cucchi put together. Point-7 founder, head of development, team manager and the man who last year decided to create a group of young professionals and have them to train together under the name BLACK TEAM. Not only testing the sail for straight-line speeds, but also checking how the sail would perform in the starts and jibing around the marks with seven other riders closely in pursuit, just as in real competition conditions for which a racing sail is developed. This level of development and practise of testing took the Point-7 gear to a new level of perfection. The dedication put behind the team and the advance made on the rig ensured podium results at any level: long distances such as the Defi Wind, PWA slalom podium results, overall PWA
podium results as well as many national and international results, with many young riders being able to make stand out results.
Over the last year boards have widened to increase their tail size and volume, thus allowing a wider range of performance in lighter winds, the chance to use bigger sail and fin sizes, without losing the feeling of control and speed in strong winds. This board development gave the opportunity for the sails to develop towards that direction as well. This was done by implementing more power to service the new needs, by centring new outlines, new luff sizing, new boom lengths and cross batten profiles. This new development has brought the chance to take out from our range the 9.7, as the power given by the new 9.2 is now satisfying even the heaviest sailors. Using only a 490 mast the 9.2 becomes friendly also to the lightest windsurfers who love racing. The other great advantage is that there is no more need to have a 520 in the quiver.
