Due to the overwhelming success of our 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 us to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive race sail.
Designed and tested at our NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Robert Stroj, then further developed through our team riders' feedback from across the world. No stone is left uncovered in our relentless drive to be the best at what we do.
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.
New for 2024, Taffeta in the upper luff sleeve increases stretch resistance, performance and durability.
7 Batten Design Ultimate control and stability are provided by the 7 batten design.
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.
New Materials in Luff and Clew The new materials have allowed us to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive race sail.
