Simmer Sails
Claudio - 2011 Icons. I am using this set for 2011 sails Icon 4.2 4.7 5.3 , Iron 5.7 .The X1000 is just perfect on all of them , it has a softer feeling with respect than the Stilo 300 100% ( the carbon we use is different), but a better control especiually in overpowered conditions.It gives also a deeper lower profile ( more power) with respect to the original mast which I find a bit too "stiff" for this sail , but this is my opinion and personal preference. A good alternative, speaking of MaverX is the Stilo 200 85%

John – MaverX Daytona and Simmer SCS and 2xc
On the Simmer SCS the sail rigs perfectly with good rotation and a wide wind range on the water.

David - Icon
Went out today using the new 430 on my 5.8m. What a great board the chakra
106 is just doesn't feel that big and boy it turns so well. Anyway the mast
the sail sleeves really well much easier than the old mast. Like the area
where the boom attaches that makes good contact with my Chinook easy to
adjust boom height. Not sure the mast is any heavier certainly doesn't feel
it with one in each hand. When rigged I think the top is a little stiffer
than the Tushy and suits the Icon really well it looks better and the bottom
of the sail fills better. On the water it held the profile really well even
when overpowered. Has got me
thinking about getting a 460 as well!

Richy - Stilo 300 with 2010 Simmer Icons and Irons"Had an afternoon on my 5m icon with the 400 mast , it was quite gusty, choppy and patchy and about 25mph gusting 45mph ,others blown off the water on 4m , 4.2m and 4.5m at the windiest. next day out on the 5.7m iron and 430 mast , not as windy but not as gusty patchy either . the sails look different on the beach compaired to the ezzy and powerex masts, i set them on the maverx with the leach loose half way across the sail between batten 1 and 2, that makes the leach a quarter loose between battons 2 and 3 , and a tiny bit loose between batons 3 and 4 . the ezzy mast makes the leech fall away dramaticaly only beween battens 2 and 3 .
on the water the sails felt really good , not as front handed , just a touch, also had a very smooth power delivery , still powerfull and no body could keep up with me so fast as well. tried them with less downhaul as well , almost a tight leach but didnt like them like that ,felt very graby when getting going and didnt keep planing very well, so put the downhaul back on and shot off the beach again at full speed. the tips of the sails wag around a bit like an ezzy sail as well , noticed more on the iron, could just be i had a touch more downhaul on it though. all in all I think they feel like an upgrade compaired to the ezzy and just a touch better than the powerex. more testing to follow next windy day."

Tim - Stilo 200 with Simmer Icon 2010 "The mast makes the rig feel so light and the sail has a huge wind range. All my other rigs now feel very heavy"
