Neilpryde RS Flight Evo II

FOIL RACING. REDEFINED. We are extremely excited to introduce the new Flight EVOII to the range. Experience foil racing like nothing before, thanks to the refined high aspect ratio of the sail.

The new 7-batten layout of the sail makes it lighter overall, and dramatically improves its handling especially during maneuvers, which is extremely important in foil racing.

We made it our mission to equip and design this sail to be the must-have for foil championships and racers that seek nothing more than their next victory. This sail is an evolution of its predecessor, fully delivering on the high aspect ratio needed to speed through your next finish line effortlessly. The Flight EVOII comes in race-ready construction and we have further optimized the balance of speed and control.

This sail has it all: speed, gracious design, stability and control, and it won't let you down, no matter if upwind, downwind or reaching.

Quench your thirst for speed with the new Flight EVOII.

KEY FEATURES:

NEILPRYDE RACING PROGRAM

A mark that declares the concentrated essence of NeilPryde. Sails with the best technology, speed, power and enhanced specification, designed to let you experience the unexpected. Sails made to compete and win.

Over 30 years of undisputed leadership in slalom and speed events didn't come by chance. It came from the hands and hearts of the best racers in the world, the best designers and top engineers. At NeilPryde we know how to bring them together and make the fastest sails in the world. Since we started the racing program in the early 1980's, the objective has always been the same: Create the fastest and most advanced sails yet, through continuous research, development and innovation paired with an insatiable appetite for speed.

The technology, ideas and concepts that are created and refined during the RS: Racing development process are our guiding design principles, ultimately applied to all of the sails in the NeilPryde range. The RACING range stands for countless wins on the water, wins that are based on the continuous efforts our team makes, to create the fastest and most advanced sail yet.

PROGRESSIVE HIGH ASPECT RATIO DESIGN

With the 2020 series of the RS: Racing EVO we are introducing the high aspect ratio design that could already be found on the flight Evo. While the high aspect ratio is much more defined on the bigger sail sizes, it is less so defined on the smaller sizes. Thanks to this progressive high aspect ratio design, we are fully leveraging this design's benefits. The sails become equally controllable on foil as well as on fin.

But what does high aspect mean for the sailor? The high aspect ratio of the sail adds stability and helps to improve the stability of the sail, especially when foiling, this is important, as you don't want any change in the position of the draft. As soon as the center of effort moves unpredictably, the stability of the flight gets interrupted.

HIGHER EFFICIENCY
Lift is created by the leading edge. On a high aspect sail, the leading edge is much longer relative to the sail size and this extra lift creates a more efficient sail for the rider. One of the major drag components is the tip vortex. On a high aspect ratio sail this is relatively less compared to the overall sail size, hence the effect is minimized. This allows the rider to reach a very stable high speed.

TWIST SHAPING CONCEPT

Just like its predeccesors, the sail twist allows more release, so you feel like you have gained an extra gear. The EVOXII opens instantly, gaining that moment of acceleration when going through a gust, feeling much more stable and preventing the center of effort from moving back in the sail.

The result is reduced backhand pressure that gives smooth acceleration boosts in gusts.

FEATURES

MAST SLEEVE WINDOW
Clear window in the mast sleeve for better visibility during racing.

CARBON LEECH MINI BATTENS
Provide maximum support with minimum weight.

VISUAL TRIMMING SYSTEM
Has been slightly improved and redesigned to avoid contact of sail edge body with the boom. Outer and inner clew position straight alignment. Retains same clew height and boom to mast rake on both clew positions, reduces weight and prevents rear part of the foot touching the water when jibing.

DUAL BOOM LENGTH COMPACT CLEW
Has been slightly improved and redesigned to avoid contact of sail edge body with the boom. Outer and inner clew position straight alignment. Retains same clew height and boom to mast rake on both clew positions, reduces weight and prevents rear part of the foot touching the water when jibing.

CARBON COMPOSITE BATTENS
Carbon tubes are placed in the central section of the sail body, adding extra stability and preventing the profile from moving back. The lightness of carbon battens minimize the swing weight which increases the reflex of the leech which is something really unique in our sail. Starting from the Top; #3 (Single RDM Carbon tube) #4 and #5 (Precision Tapered CNC 2-piece Carbon tube). Besides the Carbon tubes in the central section of the sail, additional Fiberglass tubes offer extra durability in areas more exposed to crashes. The progressive flex creates a deeper profile, essential in generating low end power and upwind performance. Starting from the Top; #1 - #2 (Single RDM Fiberglass tube) #6 - #7 (Precision Tapered CNC 2-piece Fiberglass tube).

BATCAMS
Batten tensioner system allowing precise tuning and secured positive locking without the need for tools. Starting from the Top: #1 - #2 - #3 (Mini lightweight Batcams combined with tension adjuster set), #4 - #5 (Batcams combined with tension adjuster set) and #6 - #7 (Batcams combined with tube screw adjuster and Allen key for an extra tension system).

LOOPSTERS
Allowing easy rigging through loop to loop system and optimized adjustable outhaul function that reduces the friction and eliminates any crossing lines (crucial when using adjustable outhaul system).

ULTRACAMS
Suspended camber system improves sail rotation and acceleration out of jibes. Simultaneous tuning of battens and cambers makes sail tunable for different mast diameters and camber pressure.

FUSE POCKETS
Overlapping body panels create a sleeve for battens, eliminating the need for traditional, separate batten pockets. This saves on unnecessary weight, simplifies construction and creates a fully symmetrical batten cavity, delivering a fully equal sail on both tacks.

KEVLAR BATTEN BRIDGES
To distribute the high downhaul load crossing the battens.

AERODYNAMIC BOOM CUTOUT CLOSURE
Prevents the apparent wind from blowing into the mast sleeve and generating drag.

BATTEN CHAFE PROTECTION
Abrasion resistant PU print to help protect the battens from damage caused by rigging or boom contact.
