ADMIT IT – YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT. PLATINUM AERO 3.0 IS THE LIGHTEST BOOM IN THE WORLD (140-180: 1.65 KG | 190-250: 2.85 KG) AND THE ULTIMATE CHOICE IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY, WEIGHT AND QUALITY MANUFACTURING.

However, because of the incredibly sophisticated manufacturing process, there is only an extremely limited number available (on a first-come, first-served basis). Thanks to the highest-quality mix of materials and unique production methods, it is an astonishing 250-400 g lighter than its otherwise very lightweight PLATINUM SLS counterpart. Despite its slimmed-down design, the PLATINUM AERO 3.0 features sensational stiffness, ultra-direct feel and range-specific features and bend curves, which make it a must-have for high-performance riders. Even though the AERO 3.0 is only available in two different lengths they all possess the performance and equipment features of the PLATINUM SLS boom (see below). However, a warning is in order: high-end technology has its price, so don’t be surprised. NEW: the 140-180 Mega Slim features the brand-new VTS TAIL fitting. In combination with the 2022 Duotone sails, the VTS TAIL fitting offers for the first time a clear visual indication for the perfect outhaul tension (patent pending).

EXTERNAL FITTINGS

MINIMUM WEIGHT AND UNMATCHED FEATURES! Especially on carbon booms most brands integrate the fittings into the tail-end to generate a clean look. We prefer external fittings to achieve 3 crucial advantages: 1. Much lower weight 2. Features and functions which no other brand can offer (see iTAIL.RACE.FITTING and iTAIL.WAVE.FITTING) 3. If need be super easy to exchange

iFRONT 2.0

THE LIGHTEST FRONT-END ON EARTH! COMBINES THE ADVANTAGES OF PREVIOUS CONCEPTS IN ONE FRONT-END:


A VERTICAL STIFFNESS: Unlike other front-ends we use 50% longer stainless steel axle-bolts which are directly connected to the side walls. Thus we obtain a maximum vertical/torsion stiffness, which results in an extremely direct connection/transmission of boom to mast (= maximum performance).


B HORIZONTAL FLEXIBILITY: The partially recessed center of the collar gives the iFRONT 2.0 a kind of hinge function, so that the collar fits to any mast diameter without any gap (= very smooth on the mast and extremely slip resistant). We know of no other front-end that fits so smoothly around the mast and thus effectively protects the mast. PERFECT FIT GUARANTEED FOR BOTH SDM AND RDM MASTS This exceptional fit is guaranteed on SDM as well as RDM masts as the iFRONT 2.0 can easily be adapted through the exchange of 2 different friction pads.

PROTECTION GRIP INSERT

MORE RESISTANT! The high-density EVA grip insert at the outside guarantees maximum abrasion resistance during rigging.

VTS TAIL

Since 1992 all our sails feature VTS dots clearly showing the right downhaul tension. With the introduction of the VTS TAIL we have finally made the correct outhaul tension visible as well. Due to the integrated visual indicator and rope markings now you have the perfect outhaul trim every session.

WIDE TAIL GEOMETRY

EQUAL LOAD ON BOTH HANDS AND IMPROVED HANDLING! Also the short booms now feature a 4 cm wider tail-end moving your back-hand further away from the sail. For the first time now your back- and front-hand are equally angled making sailing less fatigue. You immediately realize this much more relaxed sailing position no matter if going in a straight line or down the line on a wave. The second advantage is a much improved handling during ducking maneuvers.

iTAIL RACE FITTING

RIGGING WITHOUT THREADING – EVEN WHEN USING AN ADJUSTABLE OUTHAUL-SYSTEM! The ultimate highlight is the all new iTAIL.RACE fitting. The teflon-POM synthetics build rollers feature a minimum of friction. Additionally, this unique solution allows to loop the rope even when using an adjustable outhaul-kit!

OUTSIDE TAIL

FOR 20% INCREASED STIFFNESS OF THE BOOM! All PLATINUM RACE SERIES 190 and 240 booms feature the individual OUTSIDE.TAIL-END with an increased diameter. The high cross-section makes the boom 20% stiffer.
