Design Driven
INNOVATION
Designed and tested at our NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Robert Stroj, then further developed through our team riders’ feedback from across the world. No stone is left uncovered in our relentless drive to be the best at what we do.
SAIL FEATURES
RS:Racing holds more world titles and speed records than any other racing sail over the past 20 years.
4 levels of material make up the luff sleeve to increase strength and load carrying performance in this critical, high-stress area of the sail. This luff sleeve design allows us to carry a maximum amount of downhaul tension and greatly reduces stretch in the luff sleeve area, thus increasing performance.
Since foil sails do not need such an emphasis on control, we were able to reduce the RS:Flight to 6 battens, cutting out un-necessary weight and giving the sail a softer feel and better pumping / gybing abilities.
Battens are laid out in an aerodynamically correct way, taking into account the rake of the sail when sailing. This improves airflow, allows for easier rotation and faster acceleration.
Carbon ribs sewn onto the upper sleeve’s leading edge stabilize this critical section of the profile on the highest battens where cambers are not used.
This helps maintain the sail’s profile clean, reducing drag, allowing higher top speed and ensuring proper rotation.
