Duotone E_Pace 2024

Caring for your sail

Always rig the sail according to the rigging instructions, and use the built-in trim marks (VTS) to achieve the correct downhaul tension.

Washing: Rinse or spray the sail with fresh water after use in salt water - at least once at the end of your vacation. Remove sand and dirt from the cloth, sail corners, and camber inducers before storage.

Drying: Let the sail dry completely before rolling it up. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight while drying, as UV rays break down the material over time.

Storage: Only roll the sail up when it is dry, and never leave it rolled up for a long time unless it is completely dry. Store it in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight - ideally laid down or standing in a sail bag, not in a hot car for a long time.

General handling: Avoid dragging the sail over sharp objects or rough surfaces, and take care when rigging or unrigging on hard ground. Regularly check the eyelets, battens, and seams for wear.

What is the Duotone E_Pace 2024 for?

The E_Pace is a no-cam freeride sail for windsurfers who want powerful acceleration, easy planing, and high top speed without needing racing technique - perfect for everything from cruising to speed play.

Is the sail suitable for foiling?

Yes. The E_Pace has a special clew eye that allows for a more upright sail position when sailing with a foil, and on MIN trim, the sail feels extremely light in light winds.

What does 3 IN 1 DESIGN mean?

It’s a luff curve that’s significantly reduced and almost straight in the upper section, so downhaul tension largely determines the sail’s character and loose leech - giving you three sail configurations in one.

What sizes is the E_Pace available in?

The range spans from 5.4 to 8.2 m², so you can handle everything from light winter winds to stronger conditions with the same sail family.

Why does the sail’s character change from MIN to MAX trim?

On MIN trim, the sail accelerates at the slightest wind pressure and feels light and lively, while MAX trim delivers maximum speed and control in overpowering conditions thanks to the pronounced loose leech.

Which mast should I use with the E_Pace?

The sail performs best with a Duotone mast that matches the recommendations in the sail’s specifications - both the mast’s bend curve and length are crucial to performance, so always follow the specifications for your size.

How should I best care for the sail?

Rinse it with fresh water after use in salt water, let it dry completely before rolling it up, and never store it rolled up for extended periods unless it’s completely dry.
