GA-Sails Matrix 2026 – Freerace No-Cam Sailing
The GA-Sails Matrix 2026 is the ultimate no-cam freerace sail, designed for those who want speed and control without the complexity of cambers. With 7 battens in all sizes, the Matrix offers a perfect balance of power, efficiency, and ease of use, taking freeride performance to a new level of smoothness and stability.
The introduction of the new Continuous Radial Panel Layout —with panels arranged radially and without cross-stitching—improves load distribution and increases responsiveness. Thanks to the Triple Luff Panel construction (2-Ply, X-Ply, and Monofilm), the 2026 Matrix combines lightness, strength, and control in all conditions, from light winds to challenging chop.
The high-tension profile and racing-inspired outline ensure explosive acceleration, high-speed stability, and a direct, smooth feel when sailing. The Matrix 2026 is the perfect choice for those seeking freerace performance without sacrificing the simplicity of a no-cam sail.
Main features
- Continuous Radial Panel Layout – Continuous panels oriented along natural loads eliminate transverse seams and improve structural rigidity.
- No-Cam Performance Design – Freerace power and speed, with the immediacy of a camberless sail.
- Race-Inspired Outline – Wide foot and race-derived profile for maximum control and acceleration.
- 7 battens with 4 tubes – Stability and responsiveness even at full power, with a balanced and precise profile.
- Triple Luff Panel – Combination of 2-Ply, X-Ply and Monofilm for superior load distribution and responsiveness.
- Cross Batten Concept – Stable center of lift and constant profile, even in gusty winds.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
What is the difference between Matrix and Matrix ME?
The Matrix 2026 uses traditional composite materials (2-Ply, X-Ply, Monofilm), while the Matrix ME is made of Technora Membrane , which is lighter and more expensive. The standard Matrix offers greater strength and a more “solid” feel under load.
Is this really a high-performance no-cam wing?
Yes. The Matrix 2026 offers power and acceleration similar to a cambered freerace, but with a simpler rig and neutral handling.
How many cues does the Matrix 2026 have?
All sizes are equipped with 7 ribs (4 tubular) to ensure a stable and progressive profile.
What kind of tree do you need?
The Matrix is optimized for GA-Sails Constant Curve masts . Sizes 5.7–6.7 also work well with RDM, while 7.2–8.4 require SDM for stiffness and power.
Can I use it for foil?
Yes, the Matrix 2026 also works well in freerace foil trim, thanks to the stable center of thrust and controlled front pull.
How does it compare to the Duotone E-Pace or Severne NCX?
The Matrix 2026 offers a more direct and stiffer feel, with more power off the line and control at high speeds. It's more race-oriented and less soft on release than the E-Pace or NCX.
Is this a wing suitable for intermediate freeriders too?
Absolutely. Despite being fast and powerful, it remains easy to rig, light in the hand, and intuitive when changing direction. It's the ideal next step after 5-batten freeride sails.
In which spots does it perform best?
Perfect for flat waters or moderate chop: Lake Garda, Hyères, Karpathos, Alacati, Marsala, Tarifa . It works in an optimal wind range from 13 to 28 knots .
How long does a Matrix 2026 last?
With 2-Ply and X-Ply materials the average lifespan exceeds 4–5 seasons of regular use, maintaining tension and transparency.
