The time for thick heavy films and flashy fake seams has expired. Traditional xply and monofilm sails are yesterday’s technology. Nothing can compare to the crisp, light, responsive feel of an Avanti Membrane sail. Our competitors may be dabbling in our ideas, but nobody can match the depth of our experience. Avanti is unequalled in structural membrane design. We invite others to walk down the road we paved; yet we dare them to catch up. For 2015, we bring a range of products that only Avanti could deliver. Whether it’s the new Rainbow Batten Passes, the Hotspot Trajectories, or the RedLine Aramid, our membranes set the benchmark. Let us show you the future. info@avantisails.com

Designed in an array of sizes to fit every mast diameter and load requirement. Extra arc on the sidewall for improved aerodynamics.

Strong and effective batten key doubles as bottle opener.

World Wave

3.6 - 4.0 - 4.4 - 4.8 - 5.2 - 5.6 By popular demand, Avanti continues to offer the HD Membrane Matrix version of our proven wave weapon. Light, strong, and reactive, the Fenix ME set the standard in its debut. In addition to the ground breaking construction, the Fenix ME features a balanced, semi-compact outline, progressive twist flow, and high-cut foot. A high fiber density and durable film gauges ensure a bulletproof membrane unsurpassed in windsurfing today. This sail is at home from Hookipa to your beach park. Own the future, Now! “The Fenix ME is everything I want in a wavesail. This breakthrough design is a benchmark that we not only reference internally, but something we see the market trying to follow. Add the incredibly hard core fiber matrix, and you have something clearly extraordinary." -- Dan Kaseler SIZE

New Wave

4.2 - 4.6 - 5.0 Hookipa, Maui has been a proving ground for the new 3-batten wave sail genre. The Avanti Triad unlocks down-the-line wavesailing with the ability to tuck into tighter turns and more radical manoeuvres. Above all, a rider can now de-power the rig with a flick of a wrist. Our ultra-light, yet uber-tough three batten sail is designed for those who want to push the limits and challenge their fears. Nothing compares to the TRIAD if you are looking for that new school feel. "With our membrane’s, we are able to support our foils simply by strategically placed fiber. This is a huge asset for me as a designer, especially when you start stripping off battens. In addition to the fiber path support, we increased the luff curve maximum to bring skin tension and stability to the three batten outline. The result is remarkable." --Dan Kaseler

CLASSIC WAVE

viper

3.5 - 4.0 - 4.2 - 4.5 - 4.7 - 5.0 - 5.5 - 6.0 Do you crave the hiss of a clean bottom turn and the smack of a fat lip? The Viper is a clean, light, wavesail strung in Avanti’s exclusive RedLine Aramid fiber. Best suited for down-the-line sailing, with good bump and jump potential, the Viper has an unsurpassed strength to weight ratio. A classic outline feels natural on a wide range of boards. There has never been a commercially available wavesail of this quality. “A key feature of the 2015 Viper is the fiber concentration in the clew to luff group. We added critical HotSpot Trajectories exactly along the contour from the clew grommet to the hot spot on the luff curve. This intensity of fiber on the catenary load path works wonders to keep shape from migrating vertically, and yields a snappy pumpability and reactive feel.” --Dan Kaseler SIZE

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of trying and competing on many different racing rigs. The Machine M-3 is the best of the best! The highly developed membrane delivers consistent, stable, usable power throughout a huge wind-range. Unmatched in blistering top speed, fully torqued low-end, and quick acceleration, the M-3 is truly a machine. Add the carbon battens, and insanely low build weight, and you have something exceptional. --Finian Maynard
