It's been 10 years since I've upgraded sails so I gave Chris at Windsurf Systems in Melbourne a call and he sent me 5.7 Sailworks Revo to test.
Testing took place at Toowoon Bay on the NSW Central Coast with 15-25knots from the South and very gusty. The sail was rigged on a Sailworks Backbone 430 mast which set very nicely. A few adjustments of the battens and it was time to hit the water. The sail responded well to the fluctuating wind and felt balanced with lots of power down low. The breeze eventually built up to around 25 knots and normally I would consider changing down a size but the 5.7 handled the increase in wind, spilling the extra knots. Wave riding was very smooth and jumping was under control even when the wind increased.
After the session I had a few fellow sailors interested with the common comment being how well it handled the various wind speeds and unaware that Sailworks still produced sails.
Overall I'm very impressed with the 2016 Sailworks Revo with it's low down power and it's control when wind increased.
Windsurf Systems have sent me some other products to compliment the Revo sails being an Aeron carbon boom and extension plus a Nolimitz Sumo 430 mast. I'll review both these when the wind is more favourable. Meanwhile if you are after some new kit, give Chris at Windsurf Systems a call on 0412257922.
Cheers,
