RS:RACING EVO6 The all-new EVO6 is the latest speed machine borne from the record-breaking RS:Racing programme. Brilliantly bright new livery is apparent but something more extraordinary hides beneath - completely new luff panel layout, sleeve construction, streamlined batten pockets and just the right amount of Forceline. Welcome to the evolution of speed. Size Luff Boom Base Battens Cams Ideal Mast Code

HIGHLIGHTSQuadruple Luff Panel Layout EVO6 features four continuous luff panels that carry most of the sail body shaping. This configuration stabilises the critical section draft position while also providing lightweight yet stretch-resistant way of increasing the film thickness proportional with downhaul load distribution. Continuous panels eliminated horizontal seams crossing the highly loaded leading edge, which increases response of the sail as well as durability. Introduction of this extremely stable leading edge platform that is able to take very high downhaul loads allowed us to integrate...

Clear Pocket Batten Sleeve On the EVO6, overlapping body panels create a sleeve for battens, eliminating the need for traditional separate batten pockets. This obviously saves on unnecessary weight and simplifies construction. Much more importantly, Clear Pockets create a fully symmetrical batten cavity, eliminating the tendency of traditional batten pockets to load differently from one tack to another. Traditional batten pockets, sewn on one side of the sail make the sail body set deeper when they are on the leeward side of the profile than when they are on the windward side. Clear Pockets,...

FEATURES Mini Batcams Streamline and reduce weight in critical upper leech. Carbon Leech Mini Battens Provide max support with minimum weight. Integrated Compact Clew Eliminates the cutout at the clew and connects the foot area with the leech by closing the sail behind the boom end. This results in improved handling, stability and wind range. Available on speed and slalom sizes. Open Integrated Compact Clew Available only on Formula sizes (10.0/11.0/12.2). Providing more outhaul adjustment space. Dual Clew Eyelets Allowing fine individual tuning. Clew Batten Providing clew support and load distribution....

Dynamic Luff Sleeve Shaping Single Tube RDM Battens A. Increasing the width of the double surface leading edge in the area where the profile is deepest, ie in front of the rider, helps to keep the draft stable in this critical area. B. Decreasing the width of the double luff in the head allows the sail to twist off more smoothly and under less load. This reduces tension on the leech. Single Tube RDM Battens Ultracams Innovative suspended camber system dramatically improves sail rotation and acceleration out of gybes. Simultaneous tuning of battens and cambers makes the sail easy to tune. Single...

Downhaul - This is the most critical aspect of the Racing sails, as this is where the real speed and control come from. We at the NeilPryde Design Centre take great time in getting the rigging specs exactly right and this is a great place to start. Downhaul is also subject to personal preference but at minimum you should set your mast and base to the spec and pull it so there is about 1cm between the pulley on the sail and the pulley on the base. Then while sitting in the downhaul position lift the leech and mast up off the ground and look at the twist in the sail - you want to see a very progressive...
