Point-7 F1x No Cam Slalom 2023
Foil Sail
Point-7 are known for their racing ability and they want everyone to experience what its like to feel fast. The ACX is one of our most popular freerace sails we have and they have now brought this into the foiling world with the F1x. If you want the performance of cams without the hassle this is the way to go.
Until you don’t get close, you won’t realize that it’s a no cam sail. The looks, the outline is pure racing foil series pedigree. It’s a fast foil sail just from looking at it! All the characteristics to enjoy fast session on the foil are integrated into the soft Dacron profile on the luff line of the sail. A batten set up, to flatten out profile on the exit of the sail to delete the back hand when powered. The outline is high aspect, having a shorter boom and a long luff. The base is cut low to offer a perfect close the gap, but not too wide to fit fast jibing.

Target
Designed to have the latest performance of foiling, taken from the cam version of our F1SL line, but implementing all the special ingredients of our famous AC-X slalom no cam. Available in 3 sizes, 5.9, 6.9 and 7.9. Meeting the needs of a drag less no cam sail to blast on fast free-race or slalom foils. Foil is just another sport to Fin sailing. If you get addicted to it, you will want to find the same sail range set up as on the fin. So, if you sailed till now on no cam fast slalom sails, and you want to discover the same type of sail in foiling, the F1x is just the obvious choice.
On The Water
STABILITY! Leaving the beach, the sail will totally feel light in your hands. Crank up the throttle and see how you will only feel the foil on the water as the sail will feel like it disappears in your hands. It’s what is called stability! The F1x allows us to focus on the pressure on the foil and enjoy the high speeds, eliminating control issues and annoying backhand. Without any cams the fun is granted in the jibes! Easy handling, easy light uphauling, great for light wind days and first steps on the foil.
Rigging
The F1x is straightforward to rig, requiring a reasonable amount of force to counter its moderate luff curve and apply the downhaul required, guided by the visual aid in the top panel. It can rig both rdm and sdm mast, but for the 2 bigger sizes, the use of the sdm will give a better performance. Playing with the outhaul will boost up power or increase control. Tighten the lower 2-battens and the top batten, but just remove wrinkles on the other batten without overtightening them. The lower the clew eyelet choice, the less backhand the sail will deliver.
