2008 TR-4
Racing/Slalom
The TR-4 is the result of careful evolution of Dynamic Skin Tension and being able to further apply it to improve race performance.
For 2008, the TR-4 is focusing on refinements in the luff curve to affect the leading edge and the dynamic relationship to the body tension. This results in a TR-4 that is lighter in the hands, faster, and quicker out of the turns with better low end torque. These are all the attributes necessary to win races and push the speed envelope.

Helpful rigging TIPS
- Tension all the battens before first rigging the sail to remove all wrinkles.
- Make sure your 2-pc. is fully connected at the joint.
- Make sure all the zippers are closed when inserting the mast.
- After putting the cams on, before downhauling, close the zips
- Fold up the fairing at the base to make it easier to thread the downhaul.
