Neilpryde Combat HD 2021

Neilpryde Combat HD 2021

The legendary Combat stands out as the sail of choice for any wave sailing conditions. No matter which spot, from side-offshore winds and perfect peeling waves, to huge onshore white waters, the Combat will never disappoint. Designed for dynamic and adventure-seeking sailors, the Combat delivers low-end power when you need it.

Light, stable and strong - the Combat is equipped to deal with whatever, whenever, and whoever.

DESIGN DETAILS:

drive and acceleration Tight leech provides power for early planning and upwind performance.

wide wind range A large tuning range that allows the rider to trim the sail for all conditions, thanks to the combination of a pronounced luff curve in the boom area and a high outhaul tension that stabilizes the profile.

stability Wide batten layout spacing on the lower area that allows a softer and forgiving handling under powered up conditions. Tight batten layout spacing through the upper area that provides greater stability and lighter feeling.

WHAT'S NEW?

@robbyswift
After the very positive results we had introducing Ultra Scrim in the top panel last year, we extended it down into the panel below for 2021 as well. Ultra Scrim is about 60% lighter than monofilm so this makes the top of the sail feel dramatically lighter. It also stretches more than monofilm so it gave the 2021 sails an even smoother feeling through gusts and when sailing overpowered. I have always loved the Combat and this is the best edition yet in my opinion!

FEATURES

Ultra Scrim
PREMIUM REINFORCED RIP-STOP SCRIM LAMINATE.
Featuring Ultra High Molecular Density yarns. Balanced uni-directional strength characteristics. 25% lighter than Ultra Web. 2x stronger than traditional scrims.

POWERFUSE
NEILPRYDE EXCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY.
POWERFUSE panels are there to strategically re-distribute the tack and clew loads throughout the sail's body; improving the sail reflex without deforming the laminates.
POWERFUSE transforms wind energy into power, instead of losing it through material stretch. It helps profile stability and prevents deformation.

RADIAL HD
NEILPRYDE EXCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY.
RADIAL HD panels used in our HD construction are there to strategically re-distribute the tack and clew loads throughout the sail's body; improving the sail reflex without deforming.
RADIAL HD panels are custom stitched per sail size for the HD versions of COMBAT and ATLAS to offer similar characteristics to Powerfuse at a lower price point.

CUSTOM PRINTING
Our exclusive custom printing technology allows us to print the films prior to lamination, giving us the flexibility to use UV resistant multi-coloured custom graphics. The print is of minimal thickness, reducing weight and producing a higher definition of colour. During lamination, the printed side is placed on the inside of the film, which drastically reduces wear and tear. NeilPryde 2020 sails' colors are made to last an eternity.

FUSE POCKETS
We have taken out traditional, seperate batten pockets by overlapping body panels to efficiently create a sleeve for battens. This reduces unnecessary weight, simplifies construction and creates a fully symmetrical batten cavity, eliminating the tendency of traditional batten pockets to load differently from one tack to another.

TWIN SEAMS
Double stitching is used on all critical seams across our sails, allowing them to endure prolonged exposure to high loads and impacts.
