24 RS Flight EVO V

FOIL RACING. REDEFINED.

Building on the success of our 2023 Flight EVO IV, our most technologically advanced foil sail has been redesigned once more to cater for the insatiable demands of our top foil racers. The entire sail is modeled in 3D in its actual flying shape with twist and luff curve accounted for. Quadruple luff panels blend with full carbon battens above the boom for ultimate performance. Higher aspect ratio with increased release in mid leech improve acceleration and cross - wind performance.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Ultimate control and stability are provided by the 7 batten design. 

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.

 

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.
 

The new materials have allowed us to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive race sail.

The outline of the RS:Flight is much higher aspect than the RS:Racing outline. This allows the sail to take maximum advantage of every gust and promotes maximum speed and upwind/downwind performance.

Designed purely for foil free-race, RS:Flight takes advantages of design features which are not optimal to use on fin sails due to the need for control and wind release over chop when using a fin. Hence, RS:Flight features all the design advantages listed above to gain maximum performance when used to power a pure foil race board.
