RS:Racing LT1 is designed on the concept of real world racing. With a resurgence in slalom racing and continuing trends in long distance and GPS sailing, the LT1 brings World Cup-winning RS:Racing EVO technology to a wide range of performance minded sailors. RS:Racing LT1 takes the racing pedigree of the RS:Racing EVO sail and builds it into a high performance yet user-friendly slalom package. It features a combination of excellent top-end speed, enhanced bottom-end power, stability and exceptional rotation at every gybe. RS:Racing LT1 is an evolution of the RS:Slalom MK6 sail. Three cams...

Highlights Twist Shaping Concept Pronounced Leading Edge Curvature The twist shaping concept incorporates powerful, forward-oriented lower body profile together with increased twist and profile reduction in the midbody area of the sail. This concept follows the design evolution seen on the EVO8, retaining power and acceleration while increasing the release in the lower leech area. As a result, the LT1 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...

Progressive Aspect Ratio 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 Clew The new dual boom...

Highlights Seamless Leading 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 LT1 sleeve allowed us to achieve optimum profile entry stability and elasticity,...

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...

Single Tube RDM Batten Three-Piece Cam Battens Single Tube RDM 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 Single tube RDM batten Mini Carbon Battens Clear Pocket Batten Sleeve Overlapping body panels create a sleeve for battens, eliminating the need for traditional, separate batten pockets. This saves on unnecessary weight, simplifies construction and creates a fully symmetrical batten...
