Sailworks Retro Sails

2008 Retro

All we ride is the Sailworks Retro, catch up with us at the beach and demo ride one and find out what you have been missing!

We can't say enough about these modern no-cam sails. Power, range, stability, ease of use and solid construction is what the Retro is about. Simple to rig with easy rotation and no cam inducers to wear grooves in your masts. The slim sleeve makes for easy uphauling and water starts plus they have a huge on the water wind range when used with the supplied adjustable outhaul. Also there are two grommets on the clue and switching to the bottom one allows even more twist on the leech dropping off a little more power in high winds.

Building a quiver of Retro's is the ONLY way to go! Using all the same brand and model of sail guarantees equal power changes when you step up or down in your quiver. My quiver of four sails: 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 and 9.5 cover me very nicely for my local conditions on the west end of Lake Erie. The Retro has been the main stay of Sailworks since 1998 giving you confidence in knowing you'll be able to replace worn out sails in the future with the same model.

E-mail me today about trying a Retro.

Michigan and Ohio windsurfers please email or call us for prices on new Sailworks Retro sails. New clew style for 2008 reduces boom length required by six inches on larger sized sails.

* 4.5 thru 7.0 have open sail cap tops that allow for use of longer mast than what is recommended
* the 7.5 thru 11.00 have fixed sail cap tops
* many sizes are cross over sails in which larger 200 lbs plus sailors may find using a longer/stiffer mast is to their liking or in some cases light weights may find using a shorter mast is to their liking.
