For The TR-XI we started with an already very fast performer and had the challenge to make it even better. Based on testing and competition in a variety of conditions from blasting wind and rough swell to flat water and gusty variable breezes, we isolated areas that could be improved. The goal: to get around a race course in the fastest and most effective possible manner. The reality of racing in gusty and inconsistent conditions is that you need to turn every little puff into forward acceleration and you also need to be able to glide through the ever present lulls. With these facts in mind, and especially relevant to the larger sail sizes (7.0 and up) we refined our

lower body shaping by increasing profile through both our horizontal and dual vertical shape seams. The addition of a tube batten in the foot, works together with the new shaping numbers, locking the more pronounced profile forward and improving power and stability. The additional locked profile shape and tension in the lower sail body also helps to make pumping more effective as the sail responds instantaneously, converting your energy into forward drive. In the more high wind oriented sizes (6.6 and down), the increased stability that results from the added lower profile helps you stay trimmed and in control through the most radical gusts, pushing you to sail faster and faster.


When adding this extra shape in the lower sail body we stayed very diligent about maintaining our characteristic soft, smooth and breathing leech response as well as smooth cam rotation. The fine details of the twist profile were further refined, for an even progression and cleaner head shaping. The “magic” happens when you have the perfect combination of the two, but in reality the only way to cast this spell is to pay absolute attention to every fine shaping detail as we do. Locked in power and stability together with dynamic, smooth twist response provides ultimate efficiency. The reward is instant acceleration, outstanding stability and control, dominant speed and of course, winning races.

The materials used to build the TR-X1 play almost as much of a factor as the shaping details. Our custom, light weight metallized scrim laminate is used in the upper sail body “twist zones” and provides a light, smooth and responsive feel to the leech. Additionally, the unique, double concentrated, bias yarns are perfectly aligned to carry the diagonal twist loads. A load path oriented seam provides a smooth interface to the high stability monofilm profile area. For TR-XI we have used 3 different weights of high quality film in the profile zone, each specifically located for an optimum combination of light weight, strength and a crisp, responsive feel. In order to further trim weight, while improving stability, we also increased the use of ultra light, low stretch Technora scrim laminate in the wide luff sleeve. The TR-XI emanates speed and refinement, a testimony to the countless hours that have culminated in its development

Following the design path of the TR-XI, our 7 batten, 2-3 cam Freerace sail line has improved stability and tension distribution for 2015. We increased lower body shape while also modifying the relationship between the vertical and horizontal shape seams, and luff curve, resulting in a smoother profile. Leech twist progression is highly refined and gives the perfect combination of tension and release for maximum planning and high speed efficiency. As in TR-XI, the 2015 Titan GS-X uses the combination of our custom, light weight metallized scrim in the upper “twist zone” and highly stable film in the “profile zone. A moderately wide, x-ply/Dacron composite mast sleeve provides a clean profile and cams off rigging. The Titan GS-X provides excellent power and blisteringly fast free race performance.

The Blaze is our successful two and three cam narrow sleeve design range. The conservative clew cutaway and shape/tension relationships developed in synch with our successful TR-XI racing program are blended with the minimal conical sleeve that was requested. Smooth feathering rotation and racing performance are excellent for Formula Experience and simply going fast. The smooth twist character requires only moderate downhaul to achieve the correct setting and this makes for a soft feel and easy maneuvering. The use of X-Ply adds to the performance value and a graphic look easily recognized from far offshore. Four light weight tube/rod battens support general shape stability and tensioning system keeps the trailing edge tension correct, tack to tack. The conical sleeve never holds water and makes recovery and waterstarts easy. Lightweight and durable, the tough anti-chafe material protects the sleeve and tack area from damage. Attaching the boom is simple using the deep cutout, especially when using the MauiSails custom boom head design. The lightweight loop-on clew fitting is a low friction solution to outhaul adjustment that makes The Blaze full race capable and easy to use.

The Scream is MauiSails high performance, RAF, freeride slalom sail and has experienced tremendous popularity since its release. The Scream incorporates many design features from our TR series race sails, such as a lower aspect ratio, progressive twist and recessed clew. With the lower aspect ratio and more pronounced lower profile the Scream focuses it’s power closer to the riders body, while the progressive leech twist responds perfectly for maximum efficiency giving the Scream outstanding power, control and wind range. On the water, the Scream is incredibly fast and balanced, putting fear into the hearts of cambered sails in a straight line, while the RAF design and light weight make it effortless in the jibes. For 2015 we have incorporated our high performance, super light, metallized scrim laminate together with our light weight Gradient X-ply, further reducing weight and giving a more responsive feel. Panels orientation is optimized along load lines, helping to provide additional stability. The Scream’s high quality and durable construction incorporates heavy duty 5 mil x-ply in the foot, clew and perimeter. Window and mid sail body utilize the responsive properties of monofilm to give that crisp, “Race like” feel.


Aloha is the introduction, the beginning, and will continue to serve you as long as you use it well. The 2014 Aloha invites easy sailing and a wonderful way of life because we considered every factor of performance, and the value of function. Five battens in the sizes above 5.5 and four below, keep the sails light and reactive. Evolved into a well tested and highly developed RAF by Art Szpunar's continuous updates, we also find his freedom to decorate the clear surface has brought the fun out. The three color scheme jumps out at you, and more XPly emphasizes the colors and provides extra durability. Low Tension Settings make rigging and tuning easy and simple, perfect for beginner to intermediates. Properly set you will have the shaping to handle anything. The 2014 Aloha delivers what you need to comfortably transition to the next level of higher performance.
