2014 MauiSails LocoPro

The 2014 Loco Pro is a 4 batten freestyle sail by MauiSails, and is the signature sail of Bonaire Freestyle Pro Taty Frans.  A brand new design developed for Taty Frans, but carries over some ideas from the popular Mutant with adaptions for the higher aspect ratio of a freestyle sail, to feel super light and responsive in the hands.  Available in sizes from 4.0 to 5.6.

Check out the video as head sail designer Artur Szpunar walks you through the sail with some action from Taty Frans.
