With focus on development program for young riders, female athletes and emerging nations, the X-15 Class will inspire everyone to travel the world and bring home World Sailing medals to their local clubs and countries.
The most popular classes in sailing and windsurfing are “one design”, it’s more fun and fair to race on the same equipment.
The X-15 Class features cutting-edge designs in durable hi tech materials like the airframe in Ultra-PE fibres, Ultra-X low stretch canopy and high modules C600 carbon in the mast for Senior, U19 and U17.
The basic package is one Board, one Foil set and a Wing.
Each age group has a max wing size and a smaller wing for stormy days.
The basic front foil is an easy to use 880cm2. To make it accessible for first timers to try racing, the Class offers a 1200cm2 front wing which also makes winging possible in 6 knots. For light riders and strong winds the 560cm2 is super. The narrow 82 litre board gets going in light winds, floats most riders and early on set the sports design trend.
We calculate the carbon footprint for athletes travels to major events and draw down the double the of CO2 with Starboard’s VERRA certified mangrove programs. For each board produced Starboard collects 6 kg of beach ocean plastic, the weight of the board, making sure that X15 athletes sets the trend in sports.
May the best rider win.
