Goya Windsurf sail Mark (2023) is a no-cam freerace sail that brings together speed, control and simplicity for those who like to put in lots of miles without the hassle of cambers. The profile comes alive quickly and stays tight when the wind gets gusty, allowing you to plan ahead early and stay going with little pumping. The pressure is pleasantly centered and slightly forward, so the hand pressure feels neutral and you can sail longer stretches without tired forearms. A stiff batten configuration gives stability at top speed, while the leech opens in a controlled manner in gusts so the sail doesn't pull. Reinforced panels around boom, foot and mast trunk increase durability during water starts and falls; clear window areas give good visibility of ambient traffic. Rigging is straightforward on a modern mast; small steps in downhaul and outhaul produce immediately noticeable differences between acceleration and top speed.
On Dutch lakes, ponds and along the coast, you especially notice how wide the deployment range is. In less windy conditions, the Mark sails lightly and efficiently through ripples; as soon as it picks up, the profile stays true to shape and course, so you gain height without the sail pulling you off balance. In jibe, the pressure rolls off predictably and you pick up on the new tack quickly, with a clean batten rotation that remains reliable even at higher tension. The relatively low sail weight helps with water starts and short pump sequences, and the trim tolerance makes changing conditions less critical: a quarter turn of downhaul added and you keep calm in gusts, a little looser and acceleration feels livelier. For freeriders seeking slalom feel without camber complexity, the Goya Mark (2023) offers exactly the combination of speed, stability and ease of use that keeps long, varied sessions on Dutch water fun and relaxed.
