Model: 2008 Tushingham Rock 2.7/3.3/3.7/4.0/4.2/4.5/4.7/5.0/ 5.2/5.5/5.7/6.0
Information: Most sailmakers will tell you that there are many different types of wave sail and they back this up by producing three full ranges. Great if you have the luxury of sailing in perfect and predictable conditions, but here in the UK, where conditions are many and varied, Tushingham focus has been to produce one super adjustable sail that will cope with whatever's thrown at it. Tushingham view the whole wave set-up, rig/board/fin as a means of expression for the sailor; the less he or she is aware of it, the better. This means the rig must accelerate quickly, handle big variations in wind speed, maintain control in extreme conditions yet remain light in the hands. The Rock sets out to deliver in all departments and they certainly haven't been standing still since its launch a few years ago. Constant development by Ken Black keeps the Rock a popular choice for the UK.
