The Hurricane Eldorado
(C) 2022 Hurricane Sails
The Hurricane Eldorado best fits into the "Gorge Wave Sail" category. In essence it is a wave style sail whose characteristics are optimized for the swells and hi-winds of the Columbia River Gorge which are identified below. A Bump and Jump sail or a 5-batten wave sail are other categories that the Eldorado would fit in.
The Eldorado combines the highest quality materials with the design to deliver a sail that:
-
Lives for the Turn
-
Has the largest tuning range of any sail
-
Can be easily tuned to for the 100 lb sailor and the 255 lb sailor and everything in the middle
-
Incredibly maneuverable
-
Delivers smooth rotation even in it’s most powerful setting
-
Is light in hand on the water
-
Exceptionally broad wind range
-
Motors up wind
-
Maintains power and stability when heading off the wind
-
Has a large vinyl window that delivers
-
Long-term visibility
-
Reduces the harshness of chop
-
Forgiveness – the power comes on smoothly like a volume knob - vs an on/off switch
-
Durability unsurpassed by any material
-
The load strip through the middle of the window keeps the draft stable and locked
-
All Hurricane sails are, and have been, made in the USA – a claim NO other Gorge windsurf sail lofts can say.
Almost exclusively made out of materials manufactured here in the USA.
The 3.4 through 6.2 have 5-battens and 3.2 and below have 4-battens.
