Introducing the Panther Limited  series. Our new color fusion process makes every sail uniquely beautiful.

The “Panther Limited” is the lightest and most advanced sail David Ezzy has ever built.

Performance Highlights:

  • More power.
  • 200 grams lighter.
  • Even easier handling.
  • Increased wind range.
  • Better balance and stability.
  • New designer sailcloth called “Color Fusion Tri-Lite” that makes every sail unique. No two sails are exactly the same…but each is gorgeous.
  • New head profile gives unparalleled control, even when grossly overpowered.
  • New innovative tack strap ruler, for insuring pinpoint accuracy for base extension settings.

The Panther Limited is built with our legendary quality and high-tech materials like Technora, Spectra X-film, Color Fusion X-Ply, and our removable stainless steel tack pulley.

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.

    Hello!

    sure thing!
    The 4.7 is 3.26 KG
    The 5.5 is 3.54 KG

  • Anonymous

    good eye! Yes, the Panther Limited sets up a bit differently with the outhaul gauge.

  • Noshuzbluz

    The LTD’s look sweet! So they’re a little lighter, a little more twist off the top. Anything else performance wise? More power?

  • Anonymous

    thanks for the comments. The Limited does have more power, and increased overall improved stability and balance.

    Yesterday I changed my Ezzy SE 2008 for the new Panther LTD and I immediately tried the 4.5, incredible feeling, the sail is so light and smooth but very powerful. I have a question about 5.2, recommended mast is 400/400 but what you think about “classic” 400/430 with less extension? Thanks

  • Anonymous

    thanks for asking! Congrats on the new purchase. The 5.2 works great with the 430/400 combo too.

  • Upali

    PANTHER 2012 !!! The most powerfull & lightest sail Mr: David Ezzy ever build. Thank you SIR.

    Thank you so much for adding these additional and useful videos.
    I have a Freeride 5 with Ezzy mast and I struggle a little bit to find the looseness in the sail but this set of videos came out really useful to me!

  • Richard Sayers

    I am waiting for the arrival of a 6.9 Panther Ltd, I want to get another couple of smaller sails for use on UK south coast,I weight about 118kg and am looking to use them with a Fanatic freewave 115 Lt. Was wondering which way to go size wise 6.9, 5.8,5.2 / 6.9, 6.0,5.2 / 6.9, 6.3,5.5 or any other combo I might be missing. Also are Panther LTD running alongside Tigers or are they superseding the Panthers if so when will the Tigers be available.
    Many thanks

    hi Richard,
    thanks for the message. Sizing is really personal…but I sure encourage people to use the biggest jumps between sizes as possible. It helps you to learn how to tune the sails, makes choosing which size to rig easier, and allows you to spend more time on each sail and get to know it better. That being said I would encourage you to consider the 6.9, 5.8, 5.0 option.

    Tigers are going to be in the collection right along side the Limited. The Limited features technora and our color-film. The Tiger is a more cost effective version of the Limited in a nutshell. Hope this helps!

    thanks for the message. I’m not a big fan of the Nolimitz bends in our sails. Our mast is more closely modeled after the original Powerex bend. Nolimitz tends to prefer a stiffer tip/softer bottom then our mast.
    There are two schools of mast bend:

    1) Standard constant curve:
    - ezzy
    - powerex
    - north
    - pryde
    - simmer

    2) stiffer tip:
    - gaastra
    - maui sails
    - severne
    - nolimitz

    Hi there,  this has been my first year on Ezzy’s, I tried a Wave Panther early in the year and was very impressed with the range and feel of the sail, so I bought a 6.3 ltd and have to say it has been excellent, I use it on my RRD Firemove 110 and it just flies in hardly any wind, its so light and powerful that it just takes off, can’t believe its so fast for a wave sail.  Due to the range of the sails I have now been able to drop one sail from my quiver, going from 4.7, 5.3, 5.7, and 6.5 to just 4.7, 5.5, and 6.3., less choice, more sailing. My favourite though is the 5.5 ltd in tangerine and black, it just looks awesome on and off the water. I’m now going to get me a new Cheetah, think a 7.0 will fit the bill nicely, but what colour, now that going to be tough. Keep up the good work guys, Robo in the UK

  • Pareia

    HI Mr Ezzy,

    I´m eager to use my 6.3 panther ltd. i didn´t received it yet, does it com with a adjustable head? it is already mounted?

  • Anonymous

    thanks for the message. All Ezzy’s have adjustable head caps and removable webbing pieces to allow maximum mast accommodation! Everything is ready to rig once you receive the sail for the optimum mast. hope this is good news for you!

  • Pareia

    Don´t worry i´m sure i´ll enjoy it !!! Jericoacoara here i go !!!

  • Daniel

    Hello
    I’m very happy with my 2006 wave se. I have tried to tear these sails apart during 6 years of sailing, but it seems to be impossible…so I gonna change them anyway.
    This year it seems to be a big news that the sails got much lighter. My old 5,0 is 3,48 kg and the new Panther ltd 5.0 is 3,37 kg. Lighter yes, but will i notice this difference??
    As I said, I realy likes my old sails and I’m just curious how Panther/Tiger would feel compared to my old darlings. Please tell me..
    Cheers!Daniel

  • Anonymous

    great question Daniel! The ’06 SE was a great design…in many ways the peak of our “SE” years. We moved to a much different design in ’07 and have spent the last several years tweaking the design for ultimate performance. I can honestly say you WILL feel a weight difference. The head of the newer sails is substantially lighter on a scale and more importantly in your hands. With that weight savings being so far away from you, the swing weight of the rig is quite substantial. I also think you will notice major improvements in overall sailing and tuning range. The new sails are nicer…just a marketing gimmick, but a reality. Perhaps you can demo one from your local shop?

  • Daniel

    Thank you. I’m sure you’re right. /Daniel

  • Ask

    Hi, I have some nice ezzy SE 2005 sails, but I would like to change them for the new Panther Ltd’s but I wonder about the size combination.
    Now I have the 5,8  5,2  4,7  and 4,0.

    Would you recomend the same combination with the Panter Ltd ?
    Thanks

  • Anonymous

    thanks for the message! My philosophy with sail sizes is as follows. One major improvement in sail design over the years is sail range. Take advantage of this, and push the jump between sail sizes. You will find that you can get away with less sails, spend more time on each sail, and get to know each individual sail better. Most sailors have a key size they build their quiver around. You might find for example that the 5.2 or 5.8 is a size you rig the most. I would build around your “key size” that is most comfortable for you and your existing mast and board.
    An example of a quiver I might suggest for you would be 5.8, 5.0, 4.2….or 6.0, 5.2, 4.5, 3.7.

  • dimitar

    Hallo,my name is Dimitar and I’m from Bulgaria.
    I’m thinking to buy  Wave Panther 3 or Limited/ first time Ezzy sails buyer/ and I have some questoins about.So I need to now,do that sail is power wave?I’m asking because in our country the wind are not steady,quite gusty and we need every HP of our sail.
    I’m using 105L and 85L boards,weight 80 kg and I’m wondering between size 5.0 and 5.2.My other sails are 6.1 and 4.2.Could you give me some help?
    Thanks

  • Anonymous

    hi Dimitar,
    Great to hear from you. If there is one thing Ezzy’s are known for (besides incredible construction) it is ample low end power. Ezzy’s are great sails with range. I would suggest if you wanted to fill the gap between your 6.1 and 4.2 with just one sail, I would suggest a 5.0.

  • Dimitar

    What is the diference between Wave Panther and Wave Tiger/except weight/?
    I have mast Arrows Ultimate move 400 75% SDM.Is it ok?
    Thanks

  • Anonymous

    thanks for the message Dimitar. Are you referring to the Panther Limited, or a different year? The Panther Limited and the Tiger are very very close. The differences really are cosmetic and the slight variation of materials (Limited has colorfilm and technora, Tiger has white trilite and xfilm). The Arrows masts should work okay in our sails.

  • Pareia

    The sail worked great !!! really powerfull and under control on even over conditions !!!!

  • Juan Ignacio

    Hello!
     I am planning to buy my third Ezzy sail to complete my quiver, a 4.5 Panther 2012 LTD in this case. I would like to know if it will work well on a new 400cm Powerex 85% rdm mast.
    Also I have the following quesion: my largest sail is an Ezzy 2008 6.3 SE and my middle sail is an Ezzy 2010 Wave Panther 5.2. How would a new 6.0 work in replacement of the 6.3 in terms of power? I would like to reduce weight and boom/extension length without loosing power.
    Thanks!

  • Anonymous

    thanks for the inquiry Juan. The 4.5 does work quite well on a 400cm mast. It also works great on a 400 tip/370 combo should you ever consider getting a shorter bottom Ezzy mast.
    The Powerex bend is great however.

    A 6.0 would work nicely in terms of scaling against a 5.2/4.5 quiver. I feel confident that the Panther Limited 6.0 will cover the wind range of the ’08 6.3 if you are mindful of tuning. You should find the 6.0 to be a nice replacement!
