Sail can be equipped with its many variations and options for individual owners. In addition to the worldwide patented GLIDE-TEC mechanism, two other mechanisms can be chosen (Synchronous and Comfort-Synchro). Each model variation is optionally available with such functionality as: a cushion pad in many fabrics and colours, a height-adjustable headrest, firm and functional armrests, seat depth adjustment, seat tilt adjustment or a unique "CatBack" function which is a great spine support.
SAIL SC NPR corresponds to the Dutch practice guideline NPR 1813 ensuring seat depth adjustment (total: 10 cm) and 4-D armrests with 360° rotating pads as an option.
