Description
It's all about planing
The E_Pace is Duotone's camless freeride sail, versatile in use and across wind strengths. Its 3-in-1 design, with a much reduced luff curve that is almost straight at the top, means the downhaul tension changes the sail's character: at MIN it accelerates in very little wind and feels ultra-light (ideal even for foiling); at MAX it gives endless speed and control even when you're overpowered. It has a special foil clew eyelet and is also available in an HD version without monofilm.
Sizes 5.4 – 7.8 m² · 6 battens · Camless · RDM / SDM mast
Who it's for
- Freeride riders who want a single sail for many conditions.
- Anyone who sails with a fin and also with a foil.
- Riders who prefer the simple rigging of a camless sail.

Data from Duotone's official chart. Boom and luff are the maximum measurements for each size. Vario head: adjustable, takes more than one mast length; Fixed: not adjustable. Mast: recommended / alternative model and diameter (RDM or SDM); recommended / alternative length. Recommended outhaul tension with a VTS Tail boom: min. +1 to max. +4. If you're between two sizes, choose the smaller one if you're light or sail in strong wind, and the bigger one if you want to plane earlier. Check the selector for the sizes available in store.
