What is the difference between the racing sail and the recreational sail?
The racing sail has several differences and it is not always just white, many of the world’s editions have colors and are equally as competitive. The main difference is the race sail is cut fuller and slightly larger overall, has a window, cunningham and reinforcement patches on the leach. If your just getting started, I would highly recommend you learn with the standard sail and have a window and cunningham grommet installed. For the younger and lighter sailors (under 130), the standard sail is a much better performing and handling over 15 knots. For light to moderate winds, the race sail is a must for most sailors to be competitive.
