The Legend and the new Ghost-XT are both represent the highest level of refinement for wave sail performance in demanding conditions. The expressive graphic look is integrated into the whole sail body using 100% X-Ply materials, including the visibility areas, for maximum durability and crash proofing. An third graphic color makes the designs vibrant and exciting, adding the hot look that compliments the outstanding performance.
The Ghost-XT range has expanded to include sizes from 4.7 to 6.7. Evolved from Legend development, the Ghost-XT incorporates similar shaping adapted to the extensive use of ultra-light and strong Technora™ scrim. The Ghost-XT offers the best in high-tech, light weight performance that you can’t imagine until you sail one.
Available sail sizes : 4.7, 5.0, 5.3, 5.7, 6.1, 6.7

In fact, you can make almost everything lighter and stronger (and more expensive). But whenever marketing guys and southeast asian factories are involved, things become just lighter (and more expensive). Basic engineering.
there is no such thing as “strong and light”. Maybe in someones imagination. Basic physics.

Here you can find Ghost specification and compare it to anything you want.
…and how light is light-weight?
looks a little bit like the severne s-1 from 2009. the grey fields at the upper area of the sail and then one coloured field below.
and the design of this field is nearly the same like this from the s-1:P
