Dynamic
Compact Clew
The RS:One features the Dynamic Compact Clew brings to sail handling what 4WD, ABS and ESP combined brings to your car. In extreme gusty conditions or when the wind builds suddenly, DCC compensates and reacts accordingly by absorbing the pressure more evenly, so you stay sheeted in and powered on. Combined with our booms, Matrix mast system, and the rest of our sail enhancements, you've got unprecedented control of power to run riot out there.
And you should be out there, NOW.

Design
On a regular sail, where the clew is at the trailing edge of the profile, the profile deepest point shifts back as the wind pressure increases. This bringing the center of effort backwards, increasing backhand pressure in the gusts and inevitably compromising control and handling of the sail.

The Dynamic Compact Clew constantly adjusts the batten profile depending on wind pressure in the sail.
In light conditions when the pressure is low the Boom batten supports lower leech in order to get maximum lift and low end power. As the wind increases and pressure on the leech becomes higher the Boom batten starts to twist off, creating a reflex on the back of the profile and effectively pushing the draft forward. This greatly increases control in strong winds, so the rider can easily hold optimal sailing position to get maximum acceleration and speed from every gust!

Batten
With Dynamic Compact Clew, where the clew is positioned forward from the trailing edge, the profile behind the clew is able to twist off when wind pressure increases. The sail automatically adjusts its shape and thus controls excessive power.
In addition, it also creates
an 'S' profile on the batten, effectively pushing the deepest profile point forward, preventing it from moving back while overpowered, or enabling to hold pressure and keep the lower leech tight in light winds and while riding upwind.
