Mark 7
X.
Generation 7.
Generation 7.
Performance, fun, fast easy freeride.
Available in 5.4, 5.8, 6.2, 6.6, 7.2, 7.8, 8.5 square meters.
X Construction, X-Ply window, X-Ply panels.
Available in Fuchsia with Fluo Yellow logos.
A very balanced and light feel characterizes the Mark.
Main window panel: 6 mil X-Ply Film features a Ultra-PE fiber that provides high modulus stretch resistance and high tensile tear strength. The fiber configuration allows for maximum fiber performance while also blending into the background.
Upper window panels: 5 mil Dimension-Polyant polyester X-PLY ® styles are designed for reduced stretch and increased tear resistance.
Upper body panels: 5 mil Dimension-Polyant polyester X-PLY ® styles are designed for reduced stretch and increased tear resistance.
Foot/Tack panel: 4 mil Aramid Scrim has an upgraded scrim with larger denier fibers, while still keeping the high tenacity aramid X-PLY ®. It has a much greater tear and puncture resistance.
Balance, power and control to make the most of the available wind and seascapes. A new profile combined with unified twist all the way up from bottom to top gives the sail a lighter handling feel but still with excellent power and control.
In regards to its handling characteristic, a shorter boom length throughout all the Mark 7 sizes creates a more high aspect outline for better control and stability during manoeuvres. Overall improved handling and a more efficient lighter feeling sail.
Mark is a moderate aspect outline with a medium length boom, ideal for affable Freerace, yet with a competitive edge.
Beyond sheer straight line velocity, the Mark also excels in jumping and directional maneuvers, making it easy to change course at any given split second.
Warp Carbon Stretch Control
Massively increases the stability and range of our sails by keeping the low section full, the mid section stable and the top section properly twisting. Resulting in a super light handling sail with a highly comfortable feeling. All new Warp Carbon tendons ensure minimum stretch and crimp, while allowing for lightest and most efficient patching.
CNC Battens
Lightweight, CAD shaped, CNC machined, ultra durable, custom thickness and tailored taper battens.
Double Stitching
Around the main window, providing torsional strength, increased durability by reinforcing key load zones and blended transitions between different panel materials.
Rip Stop Sleeve
The sleeve material on all our sails is a special weave preventing tears from traveling and holes from widening. Making your sail look and perform better for longer.
Folded Sleeve Edge
Along the rear edges of the mast sleeve, preventing fraying and premature wear and tear.
Tack Fairing
Molded and stitched, this ultra durable tack fairing offers protection for your board and feet, aerodynamics around your extension and a place to store your downhaul rope. Made from abrasion resistant textile, it even protects itself.
An additional tie down strap has been integrated into the tack fairing to improve lower profile performance.
Offering you a sail with no single panel unprotected, period. As much as we invest into our Bi-Ply wave window technology and as much as we trust our Monofilm freeride window quality, there’s nothing quite as dependable as X-Ply, especially when you’re treading far away from civilization and the conditions are firing.
Scrim frame panels. Scrim is one third lighter than X-Ply and effectively stops tears from traveling.
Aramid foot panels. Found in our reinforced foot material, an additional blend of Aramid fibers provide increased protection against any deformations happening in the first place and against punctures from traveling, full stop.
Extended Window. For augmented visibility at the sailors around you in freeriding and racing.
Black Window Frame. For best optics through the sail, ultra low reflection, ultra low distraction. The black frame has been a conscious as well as a unifying choice and provides total vision of your surroundings.

Hello, i also have the Mark2 5.4 and a Mark B 6.6 in combination with a Goya Proton 118 & 97L model 2023! When i use the 97L with the Mark2 5.4 my fin is 33cm …. wich is perfect but when i use the 118L with the MarkB 6.6 i have 34cm fin (both fins carbon). But what advice can you give me about the size for the 118L wth 6.6?Both combi’s are real fast by the way!! Laters (Picture Defi Wind 2023)
Response: Beautiful shot! Thank you for sharing, JW! I don\'t know what to say; smoke is coming from your wake.
Hi,
I have the latest model Mark 2 6.2 sail and I recently purchased the Goya Hundred Pro RDM 400 and Goya Carbon Pro RDM Extension – 40cm. Are there any concerns with using this combination? I am currently using the Mark 2 with a 430 cm Ezzy 60% carbon mast, but I know the curve on the Ezzy mast is not optimal.
By the way, I purchased the 400 Hundred Pro to pair with a new Mark X 5.4 I purchased so I was hoping to use the same mast for both sails.
Thanks for your advice,
Dan
Hi Dan,
Sorry for the delayed reply here!
Mark 2 6.2 luff length is 435…,,, at 180 lbs you are walking a fine line here- 400 mast extended up to 435 will be a bit soft compared to the recommended mast, and 180 pounds is just a touch heavy for riding a softer mast like that.
I would feel better about extending the 400 off you were, say, 160 lbs…
My best advice would be to test the sail on both the 400 extended and the 430 Ezzy mast to find out which feels better.
I have not bend checked an Ezzy 430 mast for some time, so I can’t speak with certainty, but my guess would be that the bend curve between the Goya 430 and the Ezzy 430 is not so different…, probably it is an OK mast in the sail.
Hope this info helps, and please do let me know how you go, Dan!
Cheers

Hello
I have a Goya Bolt Pro 137L, + Mark 2 pro
What can you advise me as a foil for this type of board?
I have an average level in Windfoil
Thank you!!
Bru
Hello Bru,
I\'m Alex from Goya Europe. What size sail are you using? The bigger your sail, the smaller the front and back wings of the foil need to be.
On the Goya Bolt 137, you’ll need a deep Tutlle box foil mast. In my opinion between 85 and 100cm is a good length.
Then the fuselage, the longer it is, the more stable it will be, and more effective upwind also, so something between 75 to 110cm can be good.
Then for the front and back wing, let us know the size of your sail, and in what conditions you\'re looking to sail with this gear first.
Keep in touch
Alex
Hope your OK and having a good day Francisco.
I have bought the 5.4 mark 2 and sailed it yesterday in strong 30 gusting 40knot winds .
It was brilliant.
PIC BY CLIFF
GOOD Morning hope your all ok
I use GOYA Mark 2s on my Proton Slalom boards as they are the best free race sail I ever used .
Just love them.
I was just wondering if I have a 5.4 what should the next size up be ?
Is going to 5.8 to small a gap ?
Would 5.4 to 6.2 be a better option ?
STEPHEN
Aloha Stephen,
So great to hear from you and your experience with our gear.
Yes, 6.2 would be a better option, giving you a wider range. What are your weight and board size? You might even consider the 6.6 if you want to ride on lighter days.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything that we can help you with.
All the best winds!
Francisco
Hello Francisco and Jason,
Just a quick note to say how happy I am with my new Mark-2 sails. Just the perfect engine for fast freeriding. I noticed a boost in performance compared to my older 2-cam from another brand. I like the increase in maneuverability that the shorter boom length offers and the effortless cam rotation (no tug needed!). I sail mostly on inland lakes in very gusty conditions and the generous sail twist is just super effective to offer a passive power control. Whether the 8.5 or the 5.4, the Mark-2 has been the best windsurfing purchase I’ve made in years!
A local windsurfing friend was impressed with it and recently purchased 2 new 2022 Marks as well!
Here’s a short vid I put together that demonstrates how your average windsurfer can have fun with Goya gear! Hope you’ll enjoy it!

Just planning a new quiver and wondering whats the low end of the 2022 6.6 Mark2 on a 70 or 80 RDM mast.
Targeting Windfoiling:(Frontwing size 1800cm2) starting at ~7-8knts
Windsurfing: staring at ~11+ knts
Hi Laszlo,
The 80% is a great mast, not only it is strong, it has a good reflex. I use it at Hookipa regularly.
For sure the 100% will add some lightness and reflex, especially for this larger sail, so if you can I would advise this option.
Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
Thank you once again for considering our gear.
Francisco
I have not long ago purchased a 6.6 and 7,8 mark2
having sailed them a good few times now in very marginal conditions and maxed out also I have to say they are AMAZING!
So easy to use yet so FAST!! even in big choppy conditions
gybe like a dream and so straight forward to rig.
I am defiantly going to add a few more to my quiver .
not buying race sails any more no need.
THANKS FOR A BRILLIANT SAIL
Steve.
Amazing evolution from the Mark!!!
It is a super stable sail and all the wind it receives makes it push forward.
I bought a 6.6 and together with my Bolt 105 goes to the plane with the slightest breeze.
It is the perfect equipment for my 77Kg and light wind.
Thanks Lalo and Jason for helping me to choose correctly.
