GA Sails Vapor Air 2026

The Vapor Air 2026 redefines foil racing performance with a complete redesign focused on speed, balance, and control. Building on the success of the 2025 model, this latest evolution combines cutting-edge materials with a new outline and refined aerodynamics to deliver even more stability, efficiency, and agility around the marks.

A completely new construction with Project 85 Aramid Technology UPE laminate in the full mast sleeve and batten pockets sets a new standard in racing sail technology. This ultra-light, low-stretch, and highly durable material increases responsiveness and profile stability while minimizing overall weight. The implementation of a Color Monofilm foot panel further lightens the sail, resulting in a more reactive, balanced feel and improved handling.

For 2026, the Vapor Air has been completely redesigned with a new outline featuring a shorter boom and lower clew, as well as updated luff curves, profiles, and batten configuration. The result is a performance boost across all aspects, optimizing aerodynamics, improving control, and ensuring an efficient, forward-driving feel with enhanced acceleration and top-end stability.

The slightly refined sizing in the larger sails - 8.0 and 7.3 - ensures seamless performance across the entire range, maintaining ideal balance and control no matter the wind conditions.

The result is a sail that keeps all the strengths of its predecessor - early lift, effortless handling, and smooth rotation - while pushing speed, control, and agility even further. The Vapor Air 2026 represents the pinnacle of foil racing evolution, giving you the confidence to accelerate, fly, and maneuver faster than ever before.

Key Features:

• CONTINUOUS RADIAL PANEL LAYOUT We've revolutionized the panel layout by creating continuous panels that run radially from the sail's center. By eliminating cross seams, which are common in traditional horizontal and vertical panel setups, the whole panel works as a unit with a better feedback to the loads.

• PROJECT 85 ARAMID TECHNOLOGY MAST SLEEVE & BATTEN POCKETS Full mast sleeve and batten pockets made from ultra-light, low-stretch Project 85 Aramid Technology UPE laminate deliver unmatched profile stability, responsiveness, lightness, and long-lasting durability.

• NEW OUTLINE DESIGN A completely redesigned outline with a shorter boom and lower clew increases responsiveness and smoother handling, especially when jibing or maneuvering around marks.

• UPDATED LUFF CURVES & PROFILES Refined luff curves and profile shaping ensure superior stability, consistent power delivery, and better balance across all wind angles.

• HIGH TENSION PROFILE High tension in the Vapor Air’s profile ensures constant power delivery and control across changing wind conditions, giving riders confidence to push harder in every race.

• CROSS BATTEN CONCEPT The cross batten provides perfect stability in the profile of the Vapor Air and a fixed center of pressure.

• COLOR MONOFILM FOOT PANEL The foot section in Color Monofilm reduces overall weight while maintaining durability, creating a lighter, more reactive feel.

• OPTIMIZED SIZE RANGE Slight modifications in the larger sizes (8.0 and 7.3) ensures seamless performance and consistent feel across the entire range.
