NeilPryde RS Racing EVO XV 2024
Due to the overwhelming success of the 2023 RS: Racing EVOXIV, the EVOXV design is closely based on that of the EVOXIV, but with technological advancements from the introduction of new materials: Taffeta in the upper luff sleeve and Lite Skin Aramid in the clew.
The new materials have allowed designers to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive race sail.
Product highlights
The most winning race sail evolution
RS:Racing holds more world titles and speed records than any other racing sail over the past 20 years
Uncompromised performance
RS:Racing is fully focused on racecourse speed, delivering huge power and excellent stability
Rock solid profile
Thanks to 7-batten, 4-cam design RS:Racing is super stable, providing perfect handling in overpowered conditions
Aerodynamic perfection
Use of advanced CFD methodes allowed designers to optimize airflow in unmatched way
Features
- Airflow tubular carbon battens - Tubular carbon battens are laid out in an aerodynamically correct way, taking into account the rake of the sail when sailing. This improves airflow, allows for easier rotation and faster acceleration.
- Internally printed - Sail body uses internally printed, laminated panels. Lightweight and durable.
- Ultra clear window - Light weight and extra clear.
- Lite skin Aramid - Extremely strong, abrasion resistant and light weight. New for 2024.
- Quadruple luff construction - 4 levels of material make up the luff sleeve to increase strength and load carrying performance in this critical, high-stress area of the sail. New for 2024, Taffeta in the upper luff sleeve increases stretch resistance, performance and durability.
- Leading Edge Rib - Carbon ribs sewn onto the upper sleeve’s leading edge stabilize this critical section of the profile on the highest battens where cambers are not used. This helps maintain the sail’s profile clean, reducing drag, allowing higher top speed and ensuring proper rotation.
- New Materials in Luff and Clew - The new materials have allowed designers to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive race sail.
