We present the Loftsails Racingblade 2026/2027.

At the heart of the Loftsails Racing program is the Racingblade - a consistently developed performance sail for maximum efficiency with fin setups. Specially built for slalom racing, it complies with all PWA regulations and delivers exactly what ambitious racers need: brutal acceleration and top speed without compromise.

For 2026, the Racingblade goes one step further again and brings subtle but effective updates for even better handling and more performance:

Cleverly adjusted batten angles and luff curves improve balance and lower the sail's center of gravity. A slightly lowered foot area provides more control - and even more propulsion when you are at full throttle. The higher aspect ratio and revised profile shape reduce drag and provide a locked-in, aerodynamic feel across a wide wind range.

At the heart of the Racingblade is a high-precision batten setup: Longer rods and set-back tubes create a flatter entry profile - further reducing drag and enabling faster, smoother cam rotation. All battens lie in alternating X-Ply batten pockets, which prevent asymmetries and keep the sail clean and stable under load.

New in 2026 is the 30% lighter TekCam 3 system from Loftsails - for even smoother rotation and support of the optimized profile with easy rigging at the same time.

The mast pocket is made of 2 mil Quad-Axial X-Ply and IYU250 fabric and forms a two-layer, stretch-resistant zone from the head to the tack. This means that the fit remains precise even after many sessions. For added durability, a 50 mm wide, triple-stitched seam is now used on the mast pocket - built for years of rigging and racing.

The new Dual Kevlar clew radials stabilize the profile even under heavy pressure, distribute forces more evenly and ensure constant propulsion.
Reinforcements in the window, leech and foot area are made of robust X-Ply laminate, while the 4.0 mil Bi-Ply panels in the body provide top resistance to UV and stretch. New for 2026: 5.0 mil panels in the foot area - for more durability in high-stress zones and consistently reliable performance.

The new 2026 design is clean and functional - without superfluous marker material or scrim. This not only reduces visual ballast, but also lowers the center of gravity, making the sail more balanced and reactive in all conditions.

Conclusion:
The new Racingblade 2026 is a finely tuned tool, made to extract every knot of speed, to make every nuance of control perceptible - and to give you the decisive advantage when it counts.
