Phantom Race
380
The Phantom Race 380 is Starboard?s uncompromised raceboard
measuring 380cm by 70cm. Its design brief was simple: to become
the new benchmark for the Raceboard Class. Designed, developed
and tested by Remi Vila, Julien Quentel and Per Andersson, the
Phantom Race 380 takes advantage of the latest Raceboard Class
rules with its 70cm extra-wide width powered by an 85cm
daggerboard.
Three key developments give this board its cutting edge:
- The wider width gets the board planing earlier, even
with the daggerboard out, and enables the board to reach
deeper downwind angles.
- The extra-long 85cm daggerboard provides more drive and
power, enabling the board to rail up earlier.
- The extra-long mast track features a 75cm adjustment
range that extends further forward, allowing the rider to
maximize the waterline,maximize the power of larger rigs and
close the gap between the sail and the deck more effectively.
The Phantom Race 380 comes with eight Ultralight footstraps with
complete reaching and upwind insert positions. The mast track
pedal can be activated with the daggerboard head.
Phantom Race 320
The new Phantom Race 320 is the board that links progressive
lightwind windsurfing to lightwind racing performance. Measuring
320cm by 71cm and powered by a 70cm daggerboard, the Phantom
Race 320 is also a board designed to fit inside the Raceboard
Class Hybrid category.
This makes it the ideal board for all-wind weekend
windsurfing: whether freeriding, racing in planing or
non-planing conditions, the Phantom Race 320 offers you a fast
gliding sensation from just 2 or 3 knots of wind.
In stronger winds, the Phantom Race 320 planes up to give a
fast, free ride with the feel of a much smaller board. With its
70cm daggerboard down, the board drives upwind and reveals its
power and racing potential.
It?s the perfect board for windsurfers looking for a board that
will be fast and fun in any wind, any time.
Summary
- High-performance daggerboard boards
- Adjustable mast track
- Powerful 70cm daggerboard on the Phantom Race 320
- 85cm daggerboard on the Phantom Race 380
The most suitable sail types are powerful lightwind sails
Compared to the Phantom 301, the Phantom Race 320 is longer and
narrower making it more performance orientated. It will be less
stable and therefore less suitable for progressive or
entry-level windsurfers, but it will be faster and deliver a
more exciting lightwind sensation for more advanced riders.
Compared to the Serenity, the Phantom Race 380 is a more
all-round racing machine with its daggerboard and adjustable
mast track. The Phantom Race 380 can therefore maximize
performance upwind, downwind and adapt to varying wind
conditions, but on the other hand it will require a more
advanced technique from the rider. The Serenity is a simple
board that requires no adjustment, designed only for non-planing
conditions.
