Mark 7 X.
Freerace.
Balance, power and control to make the most of the available wind and seascapes. A new profile combined with unified twist all the way up from bottom to top gives the sail a lighter handling feel but still with excellent power and control.
In regards to its handling characteristic, a shorter boom length throughout all the Mark 7 sizes creates a more high aspect outline for better control and stability during manoeuvres. Overall improved handling and a more efficient lighter feeling sail.
Feeling.
A very balanced and light feel characterizes the Mark.

Construction.
Main window panel: 6 mil X-Ply Film features a Ultra-PE fiber that provides high modulus stretch resistance and high tensile tear strength. The fiber configuration allows for maximum fiber performance while also blending into the background.
Upper window panels: 5 mil Dimension-Polyant polyester X-PLY ® styles are designed for reduced stretch and increased tear resistance.
Upper body panels: 5 mil Dimension-Polyant polyester X-PLY ® styles are designed for reduced stretch and increased tear resistance.
Foot/Tack panel: 4 mil Aramid Scrim has an upgraded scrim with larger denier fibers, while still keeping the high tenacity aramid X-PLY ®. It has a much greater tear and puncture resistance.
Speed.
Outline.
Mark is a moderate aspect outline with a medium length boom, ideal for affable Freerace, yet with a competitive edge.
Agility.
Beyond sheer straight line velocity, the Mark also excels in jumping and directional maneuvers, making it easy to change course at any given split second.
Highlights
Warp Carbon Stretch Control
Massively increases the stability and range of our sails by keeping the low section full, the mid section stable and the top section properly twisting. Resulting in a super light handling sail with a highly comfortable feeling. All new Warp Carbon tendons ensure minimum stretch and crimp, while allowing for lightest and most efficient patching.
CNC Battens
Lightweight, CAD shaped, CNC machined, ultra durable, custom thickness and tailored taper battens.
Double Stitching
Around the main window, providing torsional strength, increased durability by reinforcing key load zones and blended transitions between different panel materials.
Rip Stop Sleeve
The sleeve material on all our sails is a special weave preventing tears from traveling and holes from widening. Making your sail look and perform better for longer.
Folded Sleeve Edge
Along the rear edges of the mast sleeve, preventing fraying and premature wear and tear.
Tack Fairing
Molded and stitched, this ultra durable tack fairing offers protection for your board and feet, aerodynamics around your extension and a place to store your downhaul rope. Made from abrasion resistant textile, it even protects itself.
An additional tie down strap has been integrated into the tack fairing to improve lower profile performance.
Full X-Ply Build.
Offering you a sail with no single panel unprotected, period. As much as we invest into our Bi-Ply wave window technology and as much as we trust our Monofilm freeride window quality, there’s nothing quite as dependable as X-Ply, especially when you’re treading far away from civilization and the conditions are firing.
Scrim frame panels. Scrim is one third lighter than X-Ply and effectively stops tears from traveling.
Aramid foot panels. Found in our reinforced foot material, an additional blend of Aramid fibers provide increased protection against any deformations happening in the first place and against punctures from traveling, full stop.
Window.
Extended Window. For augmented visibility at the sailors around you in freeriding and racing.
Black Window Frame. For best optics through the sail, ultra low reflection, ultra low distraction. The black frame has been a conscious as well as a unifying choice and provides total vision of your surroundings.
Details
Sleeve Opener.
At the top of the boom cut out. Makes sliding the mast into the sleeve that much more quick and easy.
Anti-Chafe Batten Ends.
Protecting the batten pocket leech ends of your sail when rigging on rough surfaces.
Tack Stitch Protection.
Safeguarding the tack area of your sail against stitch breaking from rough board textures.
Hanging Loop.
Lets you hang your sail to dry, or tie a rope, or stick a screwdriver to pull the mast when derigging.
6:1 Stainless Pulley.
Using all three rolls for an optimized power ratio.
USA Made Films.
All films on all Goya Windsurfing sails are made by Dimension-Polyant in the USA to our rigerous quality standards.
Soft Foot Piping.
Protecting your shins during tweaked maneuvers on wave sails, and your sail against the board deck on flatwater sails.
