Duotone Platinum SLS 140-200 megaslim

• The 140 Mega Slim and 160 lengths have received a completely new bend curve called NEW SCHOOL 2.0. For the first time it combines the advantages of a straight new school curve (no overstretching of the front hand) and a performance oriented curve (wider distance of the tubes in the center to avoid the sail profile from getting distorted).

FULL CUSTOM CONSTRUCTION We use 100% highest-grade T800 prepreg carbon and our exclusive SENTEX® resin impregnated with silicon nano-spheres.

SEGMENTED CROSS-SECTION TECHNOLOGY This results in a quantum leap in weight >< stiffness >< durability >< grip-ergonomics/comfort With weights between 1.85 to 3.10 kg (depending on the length) the PLATINUM SLS are the lightest booms on the market (except our own PLATINUM AERO booms 🙂 The secret of these super-light weights lays in the SEGMENTED CROSS-SECTION TECHNOLOGY. Instead of the usual round cross section the PLATINUM SLS feature a super sophisticated transition of different cross sections:

• The SQUARE FRONT SECTION featuring a massive wall-thickness increases the stiffness by approx. 30%
• The OVAL TAIL SECTION increases the lateral stiffness by another 30%

This results in the new PLATINUM SLS not just been the lightest but also stiffest booms out there. Another advantage of the OVAL TAIL SECTION is the reduced tail weight. Due to the leverage effect this has a tremendous effect on how light the PLATINUM SLS feels in your hands (= sailing weight).
