Testing times for the GPS 2013
With Spring fast approaching sail development is in full swing at Hot Sails Maui. Tom and the team have been working on the 2013 version of the GPS for a little while now.
With the strong and gusty winds of late today was a great opportunity for Tom and Chris to compare the 2012 and 2013 Prototype side by side with the help of GPS data to analyze the performance. While we cannot tell you too much at this stage about the specifics of what will become the 2013 version (shown left in the image above) we are confident it will be faster, lighter and more user friendly than the previous versions, this quite simply will get you around the slalom course quicker and down the speed strip faster.

I like the white luff tube on the 2013, finishes the look of the sail off nicely. Cant wait to try them myself next year.
When my sailing buddy borrowed mine and I saw him from a distance I thought that the sail looked amazing, stands out like no other sail on the water, not only will they be the fastest, they are the best looking as well
