Description

A new crosscut design featuring a very forgiving shape allowing the sailor to focus on the big picture on the race course. The MZX5 has a powerful upper section that gives it the most "punch" of any sail on the market and it is easily de-powered as the breeze increases. The MZX5 is truly an all-purpose sail designed to give sailors an advantage in all conditions. The MZX5 was developed by North Sails designer Mike Marshall and Optimist expert Zeke Horowitz using the full power of the North Sails Design Suit with the help of many of the best Opti sailors and coaches. The MZX4 has been developed for lighter sailors and is a further development of the successful DZero6. Compared to the DZero6 the MZX4is a little deeper overall but without such an aggressive take up in the base. A major difference is the increase in leech normal twist in theMZX4. This has produced a far more manageable sail in strong winds. The head angle has also been increased by 1 degree which has further helped the sail in stronger winds. In order to balance the increase in depth the section shapes have been adjusted to reduce back camber return in the leech in the lower three quarters of the sail. The result is a sail with a little more power in the light but with the ability to auto-depower in stronger winds. **Sail number installation come FREE with the purchase of this sail**
