Join usLight – lighter – a radically lightweight sail
Duotone Idol_LTD is the completely personalised pro model of freestyle hero Adrian Bosson. Boasting incredible handling characteristics. All sizes are sensationally lightweight because the innovative and high-tech laminate ODL and the 100-micron Ultra Film were used instead of the usual X-Ply material. These materials are 50% lighter than previous sailcloths, which makes Idol_LTD weigh about as much as a 1.5 m² smaller Super_Hero (e.g. 4.8 and 3.4).
Idol_LTD can do everything a freestyler needs it to. In addition to its absolutely neutral handling, it gives no unwanted feedback and is incredibly lightweight in your hands, leaving you free to concentrate fully on your moves and manoeuvres. You’d think you were turning without your sail, since Idol_LTD rotates incredibly fast through all tricks and is completely balanced in the wind during duck moves. The extremely high clew and the short boom length make diving manoeuvres so fast that almost no speed is lost. Not only will Idol_LTD boost your success rate for difficult manoeuvres, it will also make it a lot more fun to meet new challenges. New, virtually unbreakable battens are used, which can easily handle even the roughest wipe outs. Simply awesome: When used for foiling Idol_LTD features a special clew eyelet to be able to position the sail even more upright!
Important: Although this is something other manufacturers are reluctant to mention, achieving the lowest weight can only be achieved by reducing the thickness of materials. Because the thickness of the ODL yacht laminate was kept to a minimum, the material’s UV stability is limited. As a result, this sail is not subject to the DUOTONE 2+3 YEAR WARRANTY
Product highlights
Lightest freestyle sail
Lightest Duotone freestyle sail of all time, thanks to trend-setting high-tech yachting material (ODL laminate, 4mil ULTRA FILM)
Fastest Ducking
Super high clew and short boom allow fastest possible ducking to avoid loosing any speed
Convex Dacron luff-panel
Maximum elasticity without distortion from the battens enables maximum lift for all jumps against the sail
Hollow Lower Leech
Scooped leech outline stabilises the profile right above the boom and prevents leech fluttering
Irocket 2.0
Factory calibrated individual batten tensions using a torque wrench
Radial load stripes
Additional Radial Load Stripes at the clew improve the stability and extend the wind range
Features
3D Top Cap
Optimised pull. On regular top caps and pin systems the webbing is connected in a “one-dimensional” way with the sail body (either side to side or front to back), which transfers the downhaul tension only in certain points. 3D TOP CAP allows a “three-dimensional” and very widespread transition of the downhaul forces into the sail body. This eliminates top fluttering and ensures a progressive loose leech extending the wind range. The integrated abrasion ribs eliminate the need for heavy, bulky reinforcements at the end of the luff sleeve
Polyester webbing only
Eliminating stretch and loss of tension. If it’s good enough for safety harnesses, it’s good enough for windsurfers! Duotone is the only manufacturer to use only polyester webbing for the (vario) top and the tack roller. This advantage of this compared to conventional polypropylene is the negligible amount of stretch. As a result even brand new sails will retain full luff tension and will not need subsequent trimming
TT TOP
Improved sail control at higher winds. Designer Kai Hopf originally designed the TT TOP for the WARP. The reduced, concave shape improves tension conditions for a more effective, three-dimensional top twist. This means the top twists not only horizontally, but also vertically under strong winds. By completely neutralising gusts of wind, the rig is kept steady in the rider’s hands, and thus works in a much larger range of winds
Irocket 2.0
iROCKET 2.0 batten tensioners are super-lightweight, aerodynamic and highly stable, consisting of high-quality components such as a self-lubricating, salt-water-resistant brass nut with stainless-steel screw which can withstand all batten tensions. Factory calibrated individual batten tensions using a torque wrench
Epoxy Battens
Extremely stable, extremely break-resistant
X-Ply Plus
Because the factors of puncture resistance, durability and stretch evidently depend only on the thickness of the film used, Duotone uses only 150 or 100 micron thick films for their exclusive X-Ply Plus. In an extensive series of tests, designers have developed the ideal combination of necessary film thickness and number of threads
Mini Batten
These prevent unwanted leech flutter. Short and highly effective mini-battens which provide support for the areas between the battens and prevent undesirable flutter
Double Seam Technology
Double the durability with half as much stretch. Duotone manufactures products of unmatched quality which gives their sails a significantly longer lifetime. A key feature which helps to achieve this is the triple-stitch zig-zag seams. Unlike other products with their single-seam design, these are double-seam. They cover all exposed crash areas, which increases tear resistance and reduces bending-elongation by up to 50%, boosting profile stability and performance
Mast Sleeve Opener
Frictionless insertion of the mast into the luff sleeve. An ingenious solution does away with the tedium of inserting the mast. Duotone logo above the boom cutout gently opens the sleeve so that the mast can be threaded with one hand into the luff friction-free, without having to constantly make adjustments to the luff
Individual boom length indication
Correct boom length without the need for trial and error. Because the boom is attached to the mast at different heights depending on body size, and because this creates a different angle to the mast, the boom length will vary. Specific recommendations for the correct length are printed directly on the luff sleeve at the boom level
Foil eyelet
On all foil approved sails the additional lower clew eyelet helps you to position the sail further upright which makes the sail much more efficient when flying on the hydrofoil
Twin Strap
This keeps the sail rolled up and holds the protector to the mast. A brilliantly simple fastening system which keeps the sail compact and closed after being rolled up and, when on the water, holds the mast protector closely to the mast
Triple Tack Roller 3.0
Find the perfect trim with minimal effort. The integrated, nickel-plated brass triple roller minimises the downhaul forces tremendously
