Plachta Point-7 Ac-F

DESIGNED FOR

Everyone ready to just have lots of quality Fun, Freedom, Friendly handling. There are many freeride sails on the market, but this is one pure performance and exclusive freeride sail. Its duty is simply to let riders enjoy the magic of the sport!  It’s not built to be the beginner freeride sail, but a real quality-built tutor.

THE TESTS ON MAGAZINES SAY

With looks that can deceive, the AC-F uses its form in the best way possible and exhibits plenty of blasting performance. Bold obvious power delivery, with plenty of natural range, the AC-F possesses Point-7s insatiable urge for speed and blasting without it being an overbearing attribute.

IT'S CHARACTER

The AC-F features a super light construction, early planing, easy handling and demands very little from its user to work optimally. Speed, maneuverability, power, easy. A mix of all the AC lines, with a lot fun inside. It’s called freeride, but the battens are displaced with three kinds of different tube diameters, the graphics are stepping up to show off luxury. The slightly longer boom allows the AC-F to give more push than expected to even the larger volume boards. You can take the three smaller sizes bump and jumping in the waves, and the bigger 2 sizes on free race boards, with the 6-batten setup to amaze yourself with the speed in real light conditions. With three tubed battens incorporated, x-ply in the alternating batten pockets to mitigate stretch, and no fewer finishing details than you see on any other Point-7 sail, the AC-F is a well-considered sail, with plenty of durability built-in to withstand the inevitable abuse and wipeouts an intermediate experiences whilst progressing.

ON THE WATER

We call it freeride, others would call it something more. The acceleration, the maneuverability of the small sizes, the stability when over powered is a great blend between a wave and slalom sail. In the hands it will be effortless and fun. The 6.9 and 7.5 are not made for being the freeride sail for maneuvers, but the easiest and fastest freeride sail on the market.

WHAT'S NEW FOR 2022

The 6.4 size upgraded to a free slalom cut like the 6.9 and 7.5 of the range. The smaller 2 sizes, 5.4 and 5.9 have been lowered in the clew and re-worked in the leach to increase the comfort and reactivity of the sail.

DEVELOPMENT TARGET

The AC-F sits in the Point-7 range as their freeride sail, designed specifically for fun and user-friendliness. Whilst its stable-mate, the AC-X, is focused on providing race-like performance in no-cam form, it is easy to make the distinction that the AC-F is targeted towards “light wind qualities over high wind performance.
