I raced with the sails this past summer. I found the sails to be well made and the cloth to be much different from that the of other “name” lofts. I did have to change out the battens. The supplied battens where way to stiff. The batten issue has been pointed out to Intensity and I am sure a fix will happen. For the price, the sails were a great buy! But they are not competitive in regattas with the “name” brand sails. So use for “club” racing and/or day sailing.
