the 4batten works great elsewhere.
Since its not out yet will reserve judgement till some reviews show up.
I could write, that Philly isn't exactly a hot bed of sail lofts, but you do have Cheese Steak
but will think it instead _________________ K4 fins

you may have misunderstood me. THE Elite has been available here since April of this year, when I received my 4.0.
The reviews and my experience have been glowing on the Elite.
Since its rather limited in size 3.7--5.7 2013 , in 2014 3.4--6.1, not an indicator that its lacking, I don't think that the number of battens sets the character of the sail, it does make it distinctive ... plenty of other 4battens around, and have been , Ezzy I think is still tallish and a short boom.
I saw a few in Hatteras in April. The concept will take some time to attract some following. The weekend sailors that I know don't have many or no current year sails....... irregardless of battens .
will reserve judgement on the 3 batten Ezzy, not seen a name yet _________________ K4 fins

been on goya banzai 4 batten from the start in 2012!got a whole quiver 2012,2013,2014 love em all goya is dabbling in the three batten concept also must be something to it.in 2012 the banzai was supposed to be a sail for lighter sailors ex. 4.9 powers of 5.3.i,m nowhere near under 200lbs. on my lightest day and they work great for me up on the other end of pa. on lake erie.just had a 3.9 session the other day and sails keep on putting a smile on my face |
