Xsail
 

The X-sail was designed and developed in the UK, sourcing the highest quality materials, and using the very latest technology. The people who build them are skilled craftsmen who take great pride in their work.

  • There's a choice of 2 sail sizes, 3.5m and 4.5m.
  • One size fits all - with an X-tension footbar available for those taller than 6ft
  • It all fits in a suitcase sized bag.
  • It has a standard warranty for 1 year.
  • No tools required.

The X-sail is very simple to use - hand steered like a bike, and with only one sheet - the ropey bit - to control speed. It's so easy to learn that even small kids will be proficient enough to X-sail unattended in about 10 minutes.

The X-Specs

  • The X-sail weighs in at around 29kg, and packs away into a bag that measures 80cm by 120cm by 25 cm.
    It can be set up without tools in 5-10 minutes.

  • The frame is crafted from 304-grade stainless steel tubing. Any other material simply doesn't withstand the rigours of X-sailing in a marine environment.

  • The floor pan is stamped and laser etched stainless steel.

  • The mast and boom and rear axles are precision made from GRP – glass reinforced plastic.
    The mast is made in sections which fit neatly together to give a strong support but with enough flex to damp-out the effects of large gusts.

  • The 3.5m X-sail comes with a 4 section mast, and the 4.5m with an additional mast section which combines with those other 4 pieces to give you a 5 section mast.

  • The sail is fully battened, and is available in two sizes – 3.5m² or 4.5m². This gives a choice for different pilot weights, wind speeds and surfaces

  • The rear GRP axles are built to be strong and yet provide enough flex to act as shock absorbers for a smoother ride.

  • A large front wheel provides positive direction and good grip while cornering, and all wheels are, of course, fitted with stainless steel bearings.


For example, an 80kg person might use a 4.5m² sail in light winds on sand, but use a 3.5m² sail on tarmac for the same wind strength, because of the lower rolling resistance.
A larger person might prefer to use a 4.5m² on any surface, in all conditions. The question to ask when deciding which sail to buy is "Who is going to be using it?" If you will have a variety of users of different sizes then the 3.5m sail is your best choice.The x-sail can be used by anybody from as young as 4 (in light winds, and under supervision) up to 99 or over, and we’ve had people over two meters tall in one as well – there’s an optional X-tension footrest available as an accessory for taller people.
Because the x-sail is hand steered, there’s no need to adjust seats or pedals as you do on foot steered land yachts.
