In ideal weather conditions, we had the opportunity to test the performance of the Oxley Levante and Bora sails together with Ralf Grösel, the developer and designer. We had a catamaran (Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42) and a sailing yacht (Dufour 390) at our disposal.
Levante and Bora were sailed in light winds from 4 knots up to gusts of 25 knots. In a direct comparison between the yachts, both sails were able to demonstrate their performance and stability in different courses and weather conditions. The performance on both the Dufour and the Fountaine Pajot was more than impressive. Ralf Gösel tickled the last bit out of his sails, bringing the Bora up to 50° upwind without losing stability.
The name of the Astrea 42 became the program: ENJOY
There is hardly a better way to describe the experience of sailing a Levante or Bora.
Our summary: Incredibly impressive, absolutely versatile, easy to use and always stable. The Oxleys have once again proven their quality as all-rounders with an impressive sail area.
