The all-new RS:Racing EVO8 delivers on speed as expected — it is brutally, abundantly, shockingly fast. The evolution comes in form of shaping and component tweaks that allow for an unprecedented level of power control and release, as wellas ride customisation and adaptability to suit all sailors in all conditions. RS:Racing EVO8 — speed, power and control, carefully crafted by experience. Size Luff Boom Base Battens Cams Ideal Mast Luff Boom Base Battens Cams Ideal Mast

Highlights Twist Shaping Concept Carbon Battens The new increased twist shaping concept incorporates powerful, forward-oriented lower body profile together with increased twist and profile reduction in the mid-body area of the sail. This concept retains the power and acceleration EVO7 is known for while at the same time increasing the release in the lower leech area. As a result, the new EVO8 rig can be sailed with more rake angle, increasing lift on the fin and improving top-end acceleration and speed. At the same time head twist is controlled in order to keep consistent pressure on the mast...

Progressive Aspect Ratio With the EVO8 we are introducing progressive aspect ratios across different sail sizes in order to address the specific functionality of each size. Higher aspect ratio in larger sizes (7.8 and up) increases light wind efficiency and performance of the rig as well as improving maneuverability at the marks by reducing the boom length. Lower aspect ratio in smaller sizes (7.0 and down) helps maintain top-end control and stability by keeping a longer boom and focusing the sail center of effort around the rider area where it is easier to control. Dual Boom Length Dynamic Compact...

Highlights Seamless Lading Edge New evolution of component sleeve construction now completely eliminates the front seam along the sail leading edge. This increases precision during the assembly process, reduces weight at the leading edge, creates a perfectly clean profile entry and eliminates a weak spot in construction at the exposed leading edge by removing any stitching that could come in contact with the mast. Sleeve Mast Component Sleeve Construction Combining materials with specific properties in the EVO8 sleeve allowed us to achieve optimum profile entry stability and elasticity, critical...

Sail Features Mini Batcams Streamline and reduce weight in critical upper leech. Carbon Leech Mini Battens Provide max support with minimum weight. Open Integrated Compact Clew Has all the advantages of the Dynamic Compact Clew and optimized foot outline as well as extra surface under the boom. The gap between the sail and the board is now closed when the sail is sheeting in. Loopsters Allowing easy rigging through loop to loop system that reduces the friction and eliminates any crossing lines (crucial when using adjustable outhaul system). Clew Batten Providing clew support and load distribution....

Single Tube RDM Batten 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 Tube RDM Batten RDM Carbon Tube Batten Three-Piece Cam Battens Mini Carbon Battens Dual Tube Batten A 3-piece batten provides the framework for the design of a smooth, lightweight and stable sail profile. A. Carbon/fiberglass tube: stiffest section B. Hollow mid-section: medium stiffness C. Precision Tapered CNC Batten: variable stiffness Clear Pocket Batten Sleeve Overlapping body...
