Mark 2

Freerace 2 Cam 6 Batten

Francisco Goya has always had a heart for racing, so developing the new Mark 2 in collaboration with him came natural. If anything, the focus was on lightening the sail significantly

Further emphasis was placed on a lighter handling feel and highwind control through refined luff curves and seam shapes as well as the Mark 2’s outline.

The boom lengths on all sizes are shorter compared to previous years.

All this said, the Mark 2 remains our throroughbred 2 Camber performance Freerace sail. A combination of excellent top-end speed, performance oriented bottom-end power, superior control and stability.

The Mark 2 offers white knuckle cam sail speed and cam sail stability without needing to rig “oversized”. You can enjoy the blistering speed and range of the sail without feeling like you are wrestling a dinosaur. The Mark 2 is best rigged in range, meaning not oversized. The design is cut to be super powerful, with the idea being to ride this sail as small as you can for the board you have. This means your sail is easier to handle because it’s smaller, there is greater efficiency overall and also less energy spent handling through maneuvers and transitions.

The Mark 2 is highly interactive, it can set a line and blaze, but it also likes quick changes of direction, upwind, deep off the wind, speed lines and carving turns. A high-performance sail based on flat out racing designs and specifically developed to perform on Hydrofoil and Slalom boards alike. Designed with real world racing and foiling in mind, it pairs best with the Proton Pro IV.

RDM or SDM compatible on all sizes, except 5.4, 5.8.

The new Goya Windsurfing sails now come packed in recycled cardboard and paper tape only. No redundant plastic bags. Your sail bag is that protective bag, keeping your planet, our planet, one step cleaner. We figured it’s a worthy trade off, as our love for windsurfing and the planet only grows.

Batten Tension.

Before rigging your sail for the first time.

Batten tension is an important tuning detail and should be set before the sail is downhauled. This allows the sail shape to settle correctly and ensures the most accurate representation of the design from the very first session. Taking a few moments to tension the battens yourself establishes the proper foundation for sail shape, stability, rotation, and overall performance. If the sail has already been rigged without first tensioning the battens, completely release the downhaul and outhaul, tension the battens correctly, then re-rig the sail.

How to tension the battens:
• Unroll the sail flat on the ground.
• Insert the Goya Windsurfing batten tensioner (included with every sail) into each batten end.
• Tension the lower battens: Apply enough tension to create a clearly defined shape.
• Tension the upper battens: Apply only enough tension to remove play and hold the batten firmly in place. Do not force additional shape into the sail.
• Avoid overtightening.

A batten may need more tension if:
• Vertical wrinkles appear alongside the batten when the sail is rigged.

A batten may need less tension if:
• It becomes difficult to rotate from side to side.
• It develops an “S” shape.
• It interferes with clean leech release.
