Tuff Luff Aero represents a major evolution of slotted headstay systems. Its unique aerodynamic shape provides at least 9% more lift. Faster wind reattachment to the sail with less turbulence is also a benefit of this patented teardrop shape. If you have the need for speed, you have a need for Tuff Luff Aero.
Other features include:
- Wind tunnel tested shape lowers friction, enhancing sail performance.
- Fine finish surface reduces friction between oil and sail resulting in faster sets and douses.
- Engineering for high impacts eliminates the need for bumpers.
- Custom polycarbonate material is lighter, stronger and more durable than comparative systems.
- Stainless steel, snag-free feeder allows spinnaker sheets to pass freely.
