Loft O2 Freeride 2008
Ref: Loft O2 2006
Born in 1999 the O2 has been a cornerstone of no cam freeride sail design. Since then, year on year the sail has been refined to this season's offering which is the most polished yet. The O2 is very highly engineered. Built strong but light it has huge power range; efficiency in lightwinds, control in highwinds with balance and poise to give maximum control in a straight line as well as direct and controlled manoeuvrability.
Like the Lip the 02's build quality is exceptional; over 62% of the sail is constructed from X ply and the attention to detail is exceptional.
The O2 Freeride 08 is engineered with:
The Lofts integrated panel concept.
D/P C254 narrow 5mil Xply mast panel.
D/P T-725 5mil Xply foot, luff & leech panels.
Stepped x-ply application.
Molded thermo-foam mast/board pad with roll-up strap, line pouch, tack handle and uphaul port.
Updated graphics and new xply styles.
Soft molded pvc foot edge, foot 2ply and tack batten protectors.
Sensitip head batten system.

Design and construction details The sensi tip
Ref: 192
The SensiTip is sensitivity, durability and easy rigging. Buried in the head patch is a fiber rod kept in a special curved pocket. The SensiTip is activated with downhaul tension, flexing the SensiTip rod as downhaul tension is applied. The result is an extension of your feel up and out at the rig tip, just as birds extend their tip feathers in flight.
The SensiTip meets the requirements for ultra-lightness and durability, and goes one step farther as it effectively mimics the dynamics of natural wings.
Aerodynamic tests and texts indicate that rounded or parabolic tips are of lower drag coefficients than square tips. SensiTip application allows the tip to be rounded; natural in twist character as well as outline.
The SensiTip is the totally functional, light, durable, no-hassle approach to modern tip design. The SensiTip rods are placed in the sails at the factory; no need to give any attention to the SensiTip when rigging or packing your Loftsail.
