POINT-7 AC-1 LTD | RACING 026
THE RACING SERIES This isn't windsurfing: it's warfare. The AC-1 LTD isn't here to make you look good, it's here to make everyone else look slow. Built with zero compromises and de signed to tear racecourses apart, it's pure black power distilled into only the latest development, materials, and technology. Forget excuses. Forget "good enough." This is the sails for those who refuse second place. The AC-1 LTD is not a choice: it's the only answer if your goal is to crush, humiliate, dominate. Strap in, sheet in, and let the others eat your spray. DESIGNED FOR Offering two distinctive models to match your racing hunger: the Stitched and the Q-BOND version. In Italy, racing isn’t just sport: it’s art, obsession, and domination. We rule the roads, and with Point-7, Italian blood now rules the water. For no-compromise fin slalom sailors chasing only the top step of the podium, it doesn’t matter who lines up or what course is set: these sails are forged to destroy. Fast. Precise. Relentless. No hesitation. No mercy. Rig black, and you don’t just join the race, you own it. Leeward side: deep, power curve- draft. THE 'POWER SIDE' The deepest part of the profile, located on the leeward side. Measured as depth (how “fat” the sail is) and position (how far forward or back it sits). Draft generates the power/lift of the sail. The AC-1 LTD doesn’t just carry a locked-in profile, but the deepest profile on the market to give the easiest and fastest the year. The deepest point sits exactly where you stand, driving straight through your arms and harness with surgical precision. The stance it creates is ruthless: balanced, rock-solid, and ready to squeeze every knot of speed out of the board. The power is always there. You don’t fight this sail, it's your extended body. Windward side: flatter, low-pressure side. THE 'FAST SIDE' The overall aerodynamic shape of the sail, seen in cross-section. It includes the windward side (flatter) and the leeward side (curved). When we say “the sail profile”, we mean the general curve the sailcloth and battens create. The AC-1 LTD holds a wide, stretched draft that keeps the sail crisp and breathing free. The board rises and rails with surgical precision in every condition, turning raw speed and acceleration into second nature, no matter what the wind throws at you. In your hands, the sail vanishes, leaving only lift, glide, and the course ahead. The feeling? The board screams across any surface, and you’re already lining up the next jibe.

NEW WEAPONS. 6.5 – A redefined 6.8 with a shorter boom, higher-aspect outline, and 430 RDM mast. Packs the punch of a 6.8 but flies as smooth and light as a 5.9. 7.3 – Think 7.8, but stripped down. Shorter boom, higher-aspect outline, and 460 SDM mast. Planes like a beast yet feels lighter under your hands. 8.2 (460 mast) – A stretched 7.8 with a longer boom. Delivers raw extra power without the brutality of a 490 mast. Perfect for medium boards. 8.2 (490 mast) – A compressed 8.8 with a shorter boom. Lighter in feel, but still loaded with the same relentless drive and power. Refined sleeve design – From 7.8 down to 4.9, all sizes now feature a narrower mast sleeve, tuned per size. The widest point sits above the boom, freeing the rig from excess board pressure and unleashing effortless flight over chop.

It’s mega turbo powerful—the acceleration is insane.But the force keeps the hull pinned down, leaving you in a high position of control over that thumping V12 of power at your fingertips.When it comes to jibing, the entry is smooth thanks to its light profile at the rear, but brace yourself for that boosted acceleration as you flip the sail. With the 3-cam setup, the rotation is light and smooth, ensuring you’re always ready to keep the speed. ITS CHARACTER Approach the AC-One and feel the adrenaline kick in—scared and excited all at once. The intensity cranks up tenfold as you launch the deep-drafted, scary-looking PWA World Champion race sail. Total Black, sleek with a perfect Italian racing design. Seven battens that are made to dominate. But Point-7 didn’t stop there—they pushed the envelope even further with a 3-cam setup to take you straight into the next level of power and speed. RIG SETTING The AC-1 LTD demands precision in its rigging. Start by inserting the mast on top of the cams. After pulling the downhaul to 15cm of the final setting, you have two options: either pop the cams on first, then adjust the downhaul and place the boom, or apply full downhaul first, pop the cams in, and finish by putting on the boom. You’ll find detailed instructions and videos in the support section on our website for more guidance. Adjust the outhaul to either boost power or dial in more control. Tighten the lower two battens and the top batten, but for the rest, just remove wrinkles without overtightening. Once you flip the sail, the 3-cam system delivers an effortlessly smooth and light rotation—perfect for quick transitions without losing that explosive power. ORIGIN The fastest sail in slalom racing, the AC-1 is named after Andrea Cucchi, combining his initials and sail number. As the founder of Point-7, head of development, and team manager, Cucchi had a vision to create a group of young professionals who could push boundaries together under the banner of the “BLACK TEAM.” With a legacy of excellence, the AC-1 represents the power behind a team that’s dominated the sport. A symbol of relentless speed, power, and performance. Introducing a total 100% ANTI UV-RAY monofilm windsurfing sail All our Ply, X-ply and Scrim monofilm are produced in the Unites States including the new 7548 Yellow. The less the transparent the monofilm, the more they will last in the sun. Just like our Black, our new Yellow monofilm, is also not transparent, and darker the colour the longer it will shield the material from the UV rays. What damages the monofilm is not the heat, but the UV-Rays. These go through the monofilm, cooking the material, with the result that it will become stiffer and brittle. Our monofilm is built in layers with inside the coloured anti UV glue, which blocks completely the UV rays, compared to transparent monofilm. All our Ply, X-ply and Scrim monofilm are produced in the Unites States including the new 7548 Yellow. The less the transparent the monofilm, the more they will last in the sun. Just like our Black, all our new monofilms, are also not transparent, and darker the colour the longer it will shield the material from the UV rays.
