WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE VENOM?
Experience, passion for performance and meticulous design attention create the magic formula of radical acceleration, power and speed with incredibly light and smooth handling. The VENOM combines ease and pleasure of use with lethal performance that can win races at the highest level of competition.
- NEW MATERIAL: S2Maui’s new “Light-Ply”, lightweight 2-ply colored film used in upper sail body of 2024 model, reducing weight and giving a more stable responsive feel.
- INCREASED STABILITY AND WIND RANGE: 2024 Shaping improvements to leading edge and leech twist profile combined with the more stable new materials expand overall wind range and stability.
- MORE HORSEPOWER AND ACCELERATION: 2024 Sail Profile adjustments together with more direct power transmission efficiently converteach gust into powerful forward acceleration.
- HIGHER TOP SPEED: Meticulously refined 3-D shape balances leading edge, profile, leech twist and leeward pre-bend geometries making the 2024 VENOM the most brutally fast ever.
- CONTROL: Speed is nothing without control and the 2024 VENOM’s increased stability together with instant leech response allow it to fly smooth, fast and steady even on the most gusty, choppy race course, allowing the rider to lock down and maintain perfect trim for optimum speed.
- HANDLING AND ROTATION: Races can be decided in the jibes and the 2024 VENOM feels lighter in the hands than ever. S2Maui’s original wide footprint multi-roller cams together with modified batten tip tapers ensure easy and complete rotation.
- 2 CLEW POSITIONS AND REMOVEABLE PULLEY: Second clew eyelet added further down and inwards increases top end control and shortens boom length. It also offers versatility for riders who need their slalom race sail to serve dual purpose on both fin and foil, with the lower clew allowing a more upright rake angle, suitable for foil. S2Maui’s exclusive removeable “Viper-Clip” Clew pulley included.
