Speed, Evolved

RS:Racing EVOIV comes from the relentless program of research, development and innovation by the NeilPryde Design Center. We take a no compromise approach to developing sails that offer the best possible performance. Designed with our top pro riders the EVOIV has evolved to provide more speed and control combined with durable construction.

Features

Balanced luff curve creating perfect harmony between profile stability and twist for ultimate performance. Integrated Compact Clew creates a continues sail outline, resulting in a more stable and more supported leech while keeping the clew inset for optimum stability and range of use. High aspect ratio in sizes 5.8 to 7.8 - longer luff for improved balance when maneuvering around marks. Component luff pocket construction and integrated luff pocket window: The luff pocket construction features a low friction material in the cam area, facilitating easier rotation. Kevlar reinforced material used in the upper luff pocket reduces sail weight while stabilising sail entry and twist.
PROGRESS IVE LEECH TWIST with more release in the lower/mid leech for better control and top speed. FORMULA SIZES 10.0-12.0 designed around the EVO III with improved construction details. NEW SMALLER SIZES – 5.8 AND 6.4: Smallest two sizes
adjusted to achieve better
covering of wind range.

Rider Impression

Antoine Albeau

"The new EVOIV is the revolution of the Evo's, we did a lot of work on it with Micah and Pieter and we are really satisfied with the results!

The sail is even lighter, resulting in good speed and control in high wind and a very good pop after the jibe to get distance on other riders.

I am looking forward to being in Vietnam for the first PWA event to see how I will perform with it !!!"

1Compact Outline – Reduced luff length


Compact aspect ratio sails retain high levels of control and handling as the area remains low in the sail, where the sailor has more control over it.

2 Integrated Compact Clew


Best of both worlds - The best in handling and wind range through a shorter boom, while more stable in the mid leech and foot area through the continuous outline of the sail allowing the tension to run through the parameter of the sail.

3Progressive 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.

4Ultracam


Innovative suspended camber system dramatically improves sail rotation and acceleration out of gybes. Simultaneous tuning of battens and cambers makes the sail easy to tune.

5Flexhead 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.

6Easy to find mast joint


To help with pre-downhaul checks, all RS:Racing sails feature a clear mark on the luff pocket to show where the mast joint is when using the recommended mast.

7Batten pocket protection


Heavy-duty, abrasion resistant print to help protect the cross-batten area from damage caused by the adjustable outhaul fittings and the boom.

8Aerodynamic boom cutout closure


Prevents the apparent wind from blowing into the mast sleeve and generating drag.

9Component Luff-Pocket Construction and Integrated Luff Pocket window


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.


Large window size for good visibility to leeward and ahead.

10Fully tubular batten construction


Reduces the weight of the sail while increasing leech reflex.

113-piece batten construction – mid/lower body


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.

12Dynamic Luff-Sleeve Shaping


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 on the leech.

13Bat Cam batten adjuster


For the EVOIV and MKIV we are introducing a new batten adjuster that will allow you to add the sufficient amount of batten tension without having to worry about damaging your bat-cam or struggling to get the right pressure on the cams.
