In 1999, the Slide
took over as our #1 selling sail model! The radical design and
killer function of this sail is getting more and more sailors
choosing Hot Sails Maui. The sail tested very well worldwide,
and more importantly, tests well with sailors who try one out.
On Maui, the sail is well respected at all the wave breaks. This
2000 model addresses all the concerns of the 1999 model and improves
on our best sail in years.
The 2000 Slide stays with the basic design from 1999. Some material changes and improvements are new, and we added some sizes. The sail still delivers a strong torque, ultra maneuverable power.
The Slide has taken
over as our #1 selling sail model! For 6 years, this position
was held by the Spiderlok/Gridlok, so this represents a huge shift
in market position. No longer is our least expensive sail our
top seller. This means customers are buying for the superior design,
not price point. This also results in more satisfied customers
and much higher resale values.
We continue to push the Slide as our super durable freestyle wave sail, with more x-ply material and heavier duty edge plys. The new longer sub battens have eliminated high wind leech flutter, a full season of tune ups really have perfected a great sail. The 2000 Slide can be punished even harder than the 99' version, so get out there and go for it!
A good explaination of why this sail differs from other similar looking sails on the market.
