RS:RACING EVOV - The Performance Leader Year after year, the NeilPryde RS:Racing sail is the sail by which all others are measured – the true global benchmark of racing performance. The latest version of this world beating sail is the EVOV, delivering improvements on the EVOIV which won the 2012 PWA racing world title in the hands of Antoine Albeau. A program of development and fine-tuning has resulted in a new package that will again lead race fleets around the world. Updated in all areas from aspect ratio to seam shape the EVOV looks set to dominate racing fleets the world over in 2013. Technical...

New Features And Construction THREE VERTICAL SHAPING PANELS - three-luff-panel body construction uses vertical seam shaping to control the entry profile – the most critical part of the sail. Vertical shaping here results in much better precision and shape stability compared to horizontally cut sails. Three carbon tubes, (batten #3, 4&5 excluding flex head) promote draft stability and light weight in the sail, resulting in easier handling in gybes and in tight racing situations, as well as stabilize the profile and significantly improve twist response compared to regular fiberglass tubes. New...

Racing Features FLEXHEAD CONFIGURATION A lightweight flexible tube enables the head of the sail to adjust dynamically by allowing twist along the horizontal and vertical axes. This reduces drag increasing top end speed, performance and stability. PROGRESSIVE BATTEN AND CAM LAYOUT Batten and cam numbers are adjusted to the need of specific sizes. Large sails will need more battens and cams to insure stability while small sails will gain softness and maneuverability with less battens and cams. Full Length Carbon Tube Carbon Tube FULLY TUBULAR BATTEN CONSTRUCTION Reduces the weight of the sail while...

DYNAMIC LUFF-SLEEVE SHAPING (AS EVOIV) COMPONENT LUFF-POCKET The luff pocket construction features a low friction material in the cam area, facilitating easier rotation. Stiffer material used in the upper luff-pocket reduces sail weight while stabilizing sail entry and twist. A. Increasing the width of the double surface leading edge in the area where the profile is the 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...

Integrated Compact Clew NeilPryde’s Intergrated Compact Clew design 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.
