Loftsails Raceboard Blade ULW II 2025

The Raceboardblade ULW II, featuring a 5-batten (3-cam) configuration, is specifically designed to perform in lakes and light wind conditions, where most races occur. Building on the success of the original ULW in local, national, and international competitions, the new ULW II delivers enhanced profile stability, improved upwind and downwind capabilities, and superior pumping response for even better race performance.

Featuring sizes 7.5, 8.5, and 9.5, the Loftsails raceboard range is well adapted to different conditions and sailor physiques. At a glance, the main monofilm window has been enlarged and the monofilm itself is replaced with x-ply panels. This update provides better longevity/durability without affecting its weight.

The head batten has been lowered further into the sail body and given a steeper angle. This adjustment slightly firms the twist at the sail and, together with a longer luff and a new luff curve, improves performance in low and ultra-low wind conditions.

The materials used in the mast pocket have been redistributed. The amount of Dacron in the upper part has been increased, while the SU250 in the lower parts has been reduced, slightly lowering the weight distribution.

As with all past and present Loftsails designs, the entire Raceboardblade range continues to exhibit exceptional trim sensitivity.
