THE LOWDOWN:
The SPY is released as Point-7’s 5 batten offering, but also is described in their range as a freestyle wave sail, sitting alongside the 4 batten fully wave orientated Salt.
The sail is released in two colour ways, but these are also slightly different in construction. The 832_Black Code is finished with the top part of the sail in a 2.5 mil X-ply, whilst the 7548_Yellow Code has 4 mil X-ply in the top panels. The thinner X-ply is designed to give a lighter more forgiving feel, whereas the thicker X-ply is meant to have a more reactive and crisp feeling.
The Spy has been developed as a non-technical wave sail to give ease of use to the maximum number of sailors. Point-7 point out that it is not just a 5 batten Salt, but an entirely different sail altogether. Coming in 8 sizes, all have 5 battens and are designed around an RDM mast, although the larger two sizes, 5.9 and 6.4, are SDM compatible.
The Spy features two well-spaced clew eyelets, the bottom focussed on a wave sailing position, and the top for more power and bump and jump. Both versions of the sail use a variety of materials to give the rig maximum durability and shape; the foot panel features 5 mil anti-UV X-ply for maximum strength. The clear central 5 mil X-ply window is then surrounded by anti-UV X-ply to offer increased durability, but without obstructing the vision of the sailor.
BRAND CLAIM: If you’re looking for power, but power which can plane in the lightest conditions and at the same time challenge even the toughest situations, this sail is for you.
