Neil Pryde RSFlight EVO IV 2023

RS:FLIGHT EVOIV

Completely redesigned for 2023, our most technologically advanced Foil sail ever.

Designed with our new state-of-the-art 3D design software.
Entire sail is modeled in 3D in its actual flying shape with twist and luff curve accounted for.
Quadruple luff panels, aligned with highest loads.
Full carbon battens above the boom for ultimate performance and weight.
Specifically tuned for Foil Slalom, a high aspect ratio sail with a better release in mid leech to improve acceleration and cross-wind performance.

Sail Features

The Most Winning Race Sail Evolution on The Planet
RS:Racing holds more world titles and speed records than any other racing sail over the past 20 years.

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. This luff sleeve design allows us to carry a maximum amount of downhaul tension and greatly reduces stretch in the luff sleeve area, thus increasing performance.

6 Batten Design
Since foil sails do not need such an emphasis on control, we were able to reduce the RS:Flight to 6 battens, cutting out un-necessary weight and giving the sail a softer feel and better pumping / gybing abilities.

Airflow Batten Layout
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.

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.

High Aspect Design
The outline of the RS:Flight is much higher aspect than the RS:Racing outline. This allows the sail to take maximum advantage of every gust and promotes maximum speed and upwind/downwind performance.

Tight Leech Design
Designed purely for foil free-race, RS:Flight takes advantages of design features which are not optimal to use on fin sails due to the need for control and wind release over chop when using a fin. Hence, RS:Flight features all the design advantages listed above to gain maximum performance when used to power a pure foil race board.
