Rigged on S2 Venom mast (Constant Curve) atm. Looks ok to me, but verdict is on the water test.
2018 Loftsails masts arrived today so I should be able to compare tomorrow.

Loftsails Racingblade 7.0 and 7.8 rigged and tested on Loftsails TE SDM masts. Some keys points out of this initial test:

- Racingblades are supplied with SDM and RDM cambers, rigging guide and adjustable outhaul kit
- Sensational camber rotation, S2 Maui Venom was the best I have had to date but this is another level up
- Very well balanced rig, leech is working just as required making it easy to keep the power on in rough conditions

thanks for update and pics

Thx for nice pics.
What's the feeling in the water compared to the s2 venom and last season Racing Blade?

They look good.
I guess after the non-rotating MS anything that rotates without camber surgery is fantastic.

Cant compare to the 2017 Racingblade, but with the Venom, it feels a more racing pedigree with more constant pull. S2 Venom would be softer overall with slingshot effect similar to the Mauisails. All these perform equally at top level, it all depends what you are after in a race sail.

A bit hard on the MS , rotation may have been a little sticky on some models but a step forward on the TR17. I have seen worse in the past.

2nd session on the Loftsails Racingblade 8.6 with Eoxcet RS6 - 46 fin.
Pushing the envelop, found the 6th gear, heaps of forward pull grunt and stability, camber rotation is as good as the smaller sizes.
