| ARC2 Spar |
50mm Shorter | The flex of the rigs have been designed to be softer in the bottom than the aluminium, 2x's as stiff as the aluminium in the middle quickly tapering to only 20% as stiff as the aluminium in the top section. This design allows a simple increase in mainsheet tension for a firmer leech. |
