We present the Sailloft CrossHR 2024.

With the new Sailloft Cross HR, we have created a new generation in the freeride / freerace segment. It combines the planing performance of a light wind freeride sail with the top speed of a freerace sail.

No criterion was ignored during development. The most important, however, were the revision of the outline and profiling.

The new high-ratio outline with a shorter boom in relation to the mast length not only gave the sail its name HR, but above all ensures outstanding handling when jibing. The sail turns as if by itself when shifting. The soft rotation of the battens around the mast does the rest, so that you can get out of the power jibe at full throttle. The Cross HR also feels at home on the new short boards.

To ensure that no power is lost when planing due to the now shorter fork, we have significantly increased the profile depth in the window area and thus gained even more planing performance. As a result, the HR planes even better than its already gliding predecessor. After planing, it transitions seamlessly into full acceleration. Up to top speed, the sail remains easy to control at all times. The Cross is balanced and light in the hands across the entire wind range. Gusts are converted into additional acceleration and speed. A batten setup with tube battens keeps the pressure point permanently in place. Finely adjusted loose leech ensures control at the limit.

Thanks to the slim ratio and the far forward profile, the Cross HR is now also ideal for foil surfing.

We have opted for a new size grid in the sail line. The two "small" 5.6 m² and 6.0 m² with handling-oriented outline and 5 battens remain true to their range of use as freemoving sails for maneuvering enthusiasts on smaller boards.

From size 6.2 m² to 8.2 m², it's all about heating with 6 slats and a freeride outline.

The new sizes allow interesting design options for the sail set.
If you want to replace an old 7.0 cross, for example, you now have 2 options:

• Either the 6.7: It delivers at least the same gliding power as the old 7.0. But has significantly better handling.
• Or the 7.2: with power close to the old 7.5 but with the same handling as the old 7.0.

The new Cross HR. The perfect symbiosis of planing power and top speed across the entire wind range. A dream for every ambitious freerider and freeracer.
