M1-R / VORTEX SDS - Semi-Dual Skin Wing
World Sailing Approved
Ready for More Speed and Upwind Power? The Vortex (aka M1-R (SDS)) is Your Solution
Introducing the Vortex (aka M1-R (SDS)), the next evolution of wing performance. Designed for those who crave more speed and superior upwind capabilities, this wing delivers enhanced aerodynamics, turning every gust of wind into pure power.
Superior Design for Unmatched Performance
The Vortex SDS (aka M1-R SDS) is a cutting-edge semi-dual profile wing that builds on the foundation of the original M1. By integrating an inner profile, the Vortex SDS has dramatically improved laminar flow —making for a steady, high efficiency wing. This design extracts more wind energy, and turns it into higher speeds, ensuring you get the most out of every breeze. More speed, more thrills, and more victories—this wing is built for those who love to win and feel the rush of the ride.
Effortless Control & Stability
Thanks to months of rigorous testing in New Zealand with top athletes, the Vortex (SDS) has been optimized for smooth, controlled performance through every maneuver. The inner draft is strategically placed, ensuring smooth transitions and a stable ride, even in gusty conditions. Unlike traditional single-profile wings, the Vortex cuts through gusts with ease, driving forward momentum without being pushed off course by being blown outwards like a single profile skin wing.
