Speed is the Ezzy Cheetah.

With a strong, locked-in profile supported by seven horizontal shaping seams, the Cheetah is stable and balanced, allowing you to focus on going fast, even at the highest of
speeds.
The materials used in making the Cheetah’s body read as a list of ultra-high tech sail cloth materials: Technora on the leech resists stretch, white and Color Fusion Tri-Lite reduce weight, Spectra X ply give the Cheetah lasting durability, and the cnc’d stainless steel tack pulley makes down hauling a breeze. And, as with every Ezzy, the Cheetah is rigged and tuned in our factory before being shipped out to your local shop.

 A portion of every sail we sell goes to help schools in Sri Lanka.

Note on Ezzy Masts

Ezzy Sails work great with the Ezzy Mast system, but also work with a variety of other brand masts (RDM and regular diameter). You could contact your mast maker and see if the bend of your non-Ezzy mast is compliant.

Ezzy mast bend curves are tip: 75% to 79% and base: 62% to 65%

Note: this is not carbon content. This is percentage bend relative to the midpoint bend.

For further info on Ezzy Mast sizing, please refer to our Mast Configurator Tool


Our removable, 316 stainless steel tack pulley can be replaced with our 316 stainless D-ring for those who prefer a grommet with a pulley hook.

Our colored outhaul makes rigging easy

“I got to tell you that I wasn’t to excited about the new color design and sail cloth when I saw a red Panther ltd last summer. I roll out and rigged my new green 5.5 Cheetah as soon as I got it. WOW!!!! That is the best looking sail I have ever seen. The colors just jump out!
A work of art, almost too nice to sail….Almost.
Ezzy fan forever……Tony N.”

    The photos look stunningly beautiful! With those skies, and the sharp panning. Who took these?
    Btw, the sail looks great too! Want to ride!

    Great looking sail guys, and awesome photo’s!

    Curious to know how/if the shortened luff lengths effect sail performance and feel/handling of the sail?

    thanks for reaching out. I’m eager to hear some customer feedback on the Cheetah. I did hear from the team guys on Maui that the Cheetah feels enhanced from the ’11 Freeride in overall range and feel. I also know the guys at Windsport Magazine were raving about it’s performance. Rumor has it we were “best of test”

  • H.

    Can’t wait!! got a bunch of 09 infinities that are getting tired… 

  • Cam

    Great news, will wait for lion!

    thank you for the message Raffaele. I’m excited that our new Cheetah 6.5 rigs on a 430. If you are looking for a new sail, I would strongly consider getting that new Cheetah 6.5 so that you can take advantage of needing less gear!

    I have already contacted my Ezzy reseller here in Bermuda and I will seriously consider to get it for Christmas! :-)

    Hi, I currently have an aluminium boom with a max setting of 247.  I’m going to get a 9.5 and I’m a big guy (125kg) so I’ll be using it in fairly strong wind (16-20).  Would you recommend getting a new, longer boom or will my current 247cm boom hold up?

  • Anonymous

    great question Bubba! A 247 max setting would cover you as long as you mount the boom on the mast somewhere near the center of the boom cut out. If you ride your booms at the top or bottom of the boom cut out on the sail (really high or low) then your effective outhaul needs increase. There is a longer distance from the top or bottom of the cut out when comparing to the center of the cut out. Either way, I think you are most likely just fine.

    Hi, I have a Powerex 430 RDM 85% mast. Will this combination work with a Ceetah 6.5 not so much for length but for bend and curves in the correct spots?

  • Anonymous

    thanks for asking. Yes, the Powerex bends work great in our sails. The 430 should work great in the 6.5. Keep in mind that the sail may look different when rigged up than other brand sails. If you have any concerns at all you can email rigged pictures to us and we can review and insure proper tuning.

    Tim,
    Love the new Cheetah sails. I had the opportunity to sail both my 6.5 and the 5.5 the last two days. The looks of the green one pretty much stopped the show at my local lake. A big hit with everyone.  Fast, powerful, stable and the best looking sail in the water. “HUGE” wind range from my two sail quiver. The first day, guys out on 7.O and 7.5 sails. I set my 6.5 Cheeath full, took one pump and blasted out. No problem keeping up. When the wind did pick up, I added out haul and just kept going. Everyone else had to rig a smaller sail or go home.
    The next day was just the oppsite. Most guys out on 5.0 sails. We don’t really get that kind of wind often and I didn’t bring any of my smaller gear. I set my Cheeath 5.5 to the max settings.  To say the least, this is now my favorite sail ever. Can say fast with complete control. The sail depowers nicely going into the turns and exits with speed. This all happened with one 430 Ezzy mast. One 28cm extension. And one boom.  Both sails rig nicely on this set up. For me the effective range on my this two sail quiver is easily 7.0 to 5.0  Just take the time to understand the tuning of your sails……… Tony Novak
