We present the Sailloft CrossHR 2025.

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

No detail was overlooked during development. The most important changes, however, were the redesign of the outline and the profile.

The new high-ratio outline, with a shorter boom relative to the mast length, not only gave the sail its “HR” name but, above all, ensures outstanding handling during jibes. The sail turns almost on its own when shifting. The smooth rotation of the battens around the mast further ensures that you can exit a power jibe at full speed. This makes the Cross HR feel right at home, especially on the new short boards.

To ensure that no power is lost during planing due to the now-shorter boom, we’ve significantly increased the profile depth in the window area, thereby actually improving planing performance. As a result, the HR planes even better than its already highly planing-capable predecessor. Once you’re planing, the transition into powerful acceleration is seamless. The sail remains easy to control at all times right up to top speed. Across the entire wind range, the Cross feels balanced and light in your hands. Gusts are converted into extra acceleration and speed. A batten setup with tubular battens keeps the pressure point consistently in place. A finely tuned loose leech ensures control at the limits.

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

We’ve opted for a new size range in the sail line. The two “smaller” sizes—5.6 m² and 6.0 m²—with their handling-oriented outline and 5 battens remain true to their role as freemove sails for maneuver enthusiasts on smaller boards.

From size 6.2 m² up to 8.2 m², it’s all about speed with 6 battens and a freeride outline.

The new sizes also open up interesting options for customizing your sail set.
For example, if you want to replace an old 7.0 Cross, you now have two options:

• Either the 6.7: It delivers at least as much planing power as the old 7.0, but with 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 blend of takeoff power and top speed across the entire wind range. A dream for every ambitious freerider and freeracer.
