Like Nothing Else Every day we set out to build sails that are better than any that have come before them. We evolve, tinker, test, question without compromise. In the end, we inevitably end up with something that is bigger than the sum of its parts. A NeilPryde feeling—where you just know when it’s right. The first time you experience a NeilPryde sail you will notice its distinctive sense of purpose. Every component, every technical advancement is there to make you faster, lighter, more nimble. Experience the pure, unrestrained thrill of what thousands of hours of design, testing and 40 years...

Sail Technology

2016 SAIL TECHNOLOGY - MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY / FORCELINE Materials Technology NeilPryde sails are built tough, designed to withstand the most extreme riding conditions and the test of time. Extra muscle and twice the endurance are achieved with twin seams and ArmourWeb reinforced construction. This, together with our Forceline technology, provides the backbone of NeilPryde sail strength and unmatched durability. So go as hard as you like and then some. Antoine Albeau Custom Internal Printing Our custom printing technology allows us to print the films prior to lamination giving us the flexibility...

Forceline Forceline yarns are ultra-strong, strategically placed filaments that absorb and evenly disperse loads into the body of the sail. Forceline has allowed us to do away with unnecessary panels and seams, reducing overall construction complexity and weight. The clew and tack areas of all wave, freestyle, x-over and freeride sails are now filled with two Forceline Panels and the central foot panel is removed entirely. As a result, weight is reduced; non-structural materials are removed and replaced with load bearing yarns that are perfectly aligned with loads coming from sail corners. Forceline...

2016 SAIL TECHNOLOGY - SAIL FEATURES Sail Features Mast Tip Chafe Protector And 3D Moulded Head Fairing Protects the top of the sail from abrasion damage. Also includes an easy de-rigging loop. Polyurethane (PU) Moulded Batten End Chafe Protector Protects the ends of the batten pockets from abrasion damage when rigging and de-rigging. Composite Mini Leech Battens Aerodynamic composite mini battens are sewn directly onto the upper sections of the sail for added stability and durability – without a significant increase in weight. High Grade Plastic BatCams Positive lock BatCams, allow the rider...

Full Kevlar Tape Leech Reinforcement Battens NeilPryde component batten system. A sail model and size specific batten system permitting placement of the draft at the optimal location. This maximizes the sails’ performance for the given design objectives and ensures overall stability across a wide wind range. - Rod batten: Wave / Crossover / Freestyle sails. Solid fiberglass for optimum durability - Rod / tube battens: Freeride / Performance Freeride / Freerace Slalom/ Race sails. Solid fiberglass batten front combined with hollow tube for lightness and profile stability. Boom Position Reference...

2016 SAIL TECHNOLOGY - COMPACT CLEW / SAIL SHAPING Compact Clew The compact clew improves control of the sail in two ways: reduced boom length and improved sail twist. It comes in three different configurations depending on sail types and characteristics. Moderate Compact Clew for a compact outline with rider focused surface area and improved sail twist. Wave / Freestyle / Cross-Over With the Dynamic Compact Clew, where the clew is positioned forward from the trailing edge, the profile behind the clew is able to twist off when wind pressure increases. The sail automatically adjusts its shape,...

Sail Shaping Sail shaping balances the speed and power of a sail with control and handling. Shaping lower down in the sail will produce a little less power but increases manoeuverability. Shaping higher up in the sail creates more drive and low-end power. In the performance oriented sails this extra power is easy to control due to the profile stability supported by cams and tube-battens. In the manoeuvre and wave oriented sails, low shaping distribution provides uncompromised manoeuverability. Wave / Cross-Over Lift Light feel Neutral Maneuverability Power and draft location Versatility Acceleration...

Down The Line Wave The most neutral and ‘on-off’ wave sail, The Fly excels in pure, clean waves where the light, soft handling allows for an experience as close to surfing as possible. This three-batten sail feels extremely stable and light while remaining incredibly maneuverable, retaining a handling pedigree and control levels that keep you where the action is — in the critical wave sections you’ve been hunting down. Designer’s Comment Cross batten construction allows all three battens to provide the critical leech support while the bottom batten shaping is kept low and forward below the boom...
