A new sail is born: Ezzy Wave 2020

"My goal with the Ezzy Wave was to combine the power and stability of our Zeta, with the lightness and handling of our Elite.Getting the Ezzy Wave right was a challenge. It had to satisfy both my son Graham’s need for power in European on-shore conditions and 8x world champion Kevin Pritchard, who demands lightness and maneuverability for side-off wave riding. The Ezzy Wave is built to my quality standards while coming in about 200 grams lighter, per sail, than the Elite. Weight reductions came in a number of areas. I replaced the vinyl window with Spectra-reinforced X-ply, and the clew design is lighter, which in addition to saving overall weight, reduces the swing weight. For comparison, the new 4.7 is now the same weight as last year’s Elite 4.2, making the Ezzy Wave one of the lightest wave sails in the world. As with all of our sails, the Ezzy Wave is rigged and calibrated with a load cell, then meticulously checked over in my factory. The Ezzy Wave comes highly recommended." - David Ezzy

The 5.8 has 5 battens.

Interesting. Don't you love how swoopy the panel layout looks? BTW, noticed how he's saying bye-bye to his famous PVC Panel? Maybe a good thing for the environment!

Yuck, got into an Ezzy post by mistake. Is there any way I can unsee this ?

The New Ezzy Wave 2020 5.8 (which has 5 battens) weighs the same as a Zeta/Tiger 5.2. And a Ezzy Wave 2020 4.7 weighs the same as a Zeta/Tiger 3.7.

Anything lighter than my NP 9.4 V8 is a plus in my quiver!

there are good, light, and durable laminates out there. most monofilm is actually quite heavy. they can dramatically reduce the weight of your sail. also, a really good quality mast will improve rig handling (assuming it's a compatible bend). i've been using some really light masts the last few years (north/duotone platinum/aeros) and not only are they really light, they make the rig feel really good. combine that with a powerful sail, and i have a rig with a short boom that sails 1-2 sizes bigger power wise but is super light and maneuverable.

those new Ezzys are a pretty nice weight.

I wouldn’t mind this kind of an Ezzy package either

that's KP's girlfriend (don't know if they're still together). she's a ripping italian wave sailor
