So, I've got two Revos ( which I love) and I've just heard the 2015 Sailworks REVO is due for release in 3 weeks. This will be the latest upgrade in 3 years. Here's a sample of what we can expect:

Cant wait to try out the 5.0m, 5.3m and 5.7m !! Hope there's some wind to get them wet!
I'm hoping to get the 2014 REVO 4.6 wet tomorrow at either Lake Illawarra or wollumboula lake in the S/Wester if anyone is keen. Might have a look at Windang if it's South.

Well, All I have is my bathroom scale, but I got 7.5 pounds, or 3.4 kilos for the 6.2.
Forecast is looking hopeful for tomorrow, maybe I'll be able to take it out for a session!

Well everyone, I finally got to try my prototype 6.2 Revolution Saturday, in 23 - 25 mph winds, and it was even better than expected! The smoothness and power were as excellent as always, but it seemed to have an even better ability to twist off some nasty gusts that were coming through. A friend on the beach was complaining that several of the regulars (good sailors all!) had gotten slammed by gusts, which I actually found puzzling, as I had no trouble at all. I had the sail rigged on a 460 Sailworks "Joystick", which seemed to work really well, although it's listed as the "alternate" mast for this sail. I'll have to try it on a 430 next time, although that requires a lot of mast extension, which I'm not usually crazy about. Also got several compliments on how it looked, with the clear blue panels in the sun, but that of course is secondary to performance.
Overall, I'm super happy with the sail, and suggest you all run out and get one as soon as they become available!
