GA-Sails Vapor 2026 – PWA Slalom Sailing
The GA-Sails Vapor 2026 represents the next generation of slalom racing sails, developed to offer explosive acceleration, total control, and maximum speed in all conditions. Every detail has been redesigned to give riders a competitive edge on every course: blazing starts, consistent efficiency, and superior handling in jibes.
The revolutionary construction with Project 85 Aramid Technology applied to the entire mast sleeve and batten pockets introduces an ultra-light, low-stretch material with exceptional stiffness and durability. Combined with the new Color Monofilm lower panel , the sail is more balanced and responsive, ensuring immediate starts and smooth jibing.
The updated outline with a lower clew and shortened boom improves agility and control on rough water, while the 2026 twist pattern optimizes the mid-profile tension for quicker acceleration and consistent top speed. The result is a more direct, stable sail with instant response to gusts.
