The Link V5 AST L and XO Sails Experience TR ALU Rig is a full teaching package designed for schools and clubs guiding beginners from first balance to confident planing. It’s durable, straightforward to use, and supports steady skill-building at every step.
Stable and Practical Board
The Link V5 provides a stable, predictable platform thanks to its wide, compact shape and full EVA deck pad. Riders of all sizes benefit from easy manoeuvrability and secure footing, while coaches get consistent behaviour for efficient instruction. A built-in nose protector guards against rig damage, and a tail wheel insert option makes transporting gear simple—especially for young or small sailors. A tandem insert at the nose allows shared sessions for introducing children to the sport.
Durable Rig for Steady Learning
The Experience TR ALU Rig features a fully-battened Dacron sail with a deep, stable profile for predictable drive. Designed to teach real rigging and tuning skills, it behaves like a no-cam freeride sail and responds well to outhaul and downhaul trimming. Constructed from durable Dacron with a tough PVC window and reinforcements at key points, it’s built to withstand school use.
The rig comes with an aluminium mast, but the option to upgrade to epoxy for extra durability and smoother handling is available.
