The Phantom Race 380, the Phantom Race 320 and the Starboard Raceboard 9.5
sail: advanced equipment that provides new breath into one of the longest
standing windsurfing classes
Phantom Race 380
At the 2007 Raceboard World Championships in Argentina, the latest raceboard
designs on the market were pitched against the classics from the 90s. Mariano
Reutemann tested all and chose Starboard's Phantom Race 380 for its performance.
He went on to win the event and take home the Raceboard World Champion title.
Developed by Remi Vila, Julien Quentel, Svein Rasmussen and with recent upgrades
from Mariano Reutemann, the Phantom Race 380 has since then become the new
benchmark for raceboards. It takes advantage of the latest raceboard class rules
with its wider width and longer daggerboard.
The wider width gets the board planing earlier, either daggerboard in or out,
and also allows the board to reach deeper downwind angles.
The powerful 78cm 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 rails are extremely boxy, to provide maximum leverage and railing effect.
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. There are no pads to save 500g in weight.
A special raceboard construction. The Phantom Race 380 construction is designed
specifically for the board: full uni-directional ultralight carbon covers the
entire board. A wood stripe runs along the bottom of the board and a wood shell
covers two thirds of the deck to provide the board's overall structural
rigidity.
Phantom Race 320
The Phantom Race 320 is the board that links progressive lightwind windsurfing
to lightwind racing performance. It measures 320cm by 71cm and is powered by the
same 78cm daggerboard as the Phantom Race 380. With its dimensions, the board is
race-legal for the raceboard class's Hybrid category.
Not only for racing, the Phantom Race 320 is also the ideal board for all-wind
weekend windsurfing, with more performance than what a Rio would offer for
example. Whether freeriding or 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 new 78cm 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.
