  Test Jam 6.2 2004

Test report of magazine “Surf”, November 2003:


Italian designer Renato Morlotti apparently spends nights on end in his loft, accompanied by cigarettes and coffee, working out new sail designs. His lungs and liver must have suffered during the creation of the new 'Jam', as this sail has turned out very well overall: The deep profile gets planing early, it subsequently pulls on the harness lines powerfully and steadily. Small fluctuations of the wind strength are pleasantly dampened by the relatively soft surface. The Italian has also incorporated the "power-off" function which is demanded by freestyle sailors: during manoeuvres the sail is sufficiently flat and neutral making it very forgiving and allowing it to be thrown about with little effort. Windsurfers, who like to fly over the water at the top end of the wind range with a 'smoking gun', can 'reload' by adding more outhaul, which results in more speed. Slight control difficulties which occur can also be improved dramatically with a more taught trim. Overall this medium weight rig offers a broad application range between freestyle and freemove.
