Introducing the NeilPryde RS:Flight EVO V 2024.
Foil Racing redefined.
Building on the success of our 2023 Neilpryde Flight EVO IV, our most technologically advanced foil sail, has been redesigned to meet the highest demands of our World Cup team. The entire sail was simulated and modeled in 3D in its actual form in use, taking into account in particular the twist behavior and the changed luff curve under the influence of wind. A four-piece luff panel and full carbon battens above Boom enable ultimate performance. A higher aspect ratio (ratio of luff to boom length) and a more open leech improves acceleration and half-wind performance.

Sail characteristics
| The most successful racing sail evolution on the planet |
The RS:Racing holds more world championship titles and speed records than any other racing sail in the last 20 years. |
| Quadruple luff construction | 4 layers of material form the luff sleeve to increase strength and load performance in this critical, high-stress area of the sail. This luff sleeve design allows us to apply a maximum amount of luff tension and stretches greatly in this area, increasing performance. New for 2024, taffeta in the upper luff sleeve increases stretch resistance, performance and durability. |

7 batten design |
Ultimate control and stability are ensured by the 7-batten design. |
| Airflow optimized sailing slats | The battens are arranged aerodynamically correctly and take into account the luff angle of the sail when sailing. This improves airflow, allows for easier rotation and speeds up the sail. |
| Leading edge rib | Carbon fiber ribs sewn to the leading edge of the upper sail section stabilize this critical section of the profile at the top battens where cambers are not used. |
| New materials in the luff and leech | The new materials have allowed us to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive racing sail. |
| High aspect design | The profile of the RS:Flight is significantly higher aspect than the profile of the RS:Racing. This allows the sail to make maximum use of every gust of wind and promotes maximum speed and upwind and downwind performance. |
| Tight windward design | Designed exclusively for foil free-race, the RS:Flight utilizes design features that are not optimal for use Fins-Sailing are due to the need for control and wind release over waves when using a fin. Therefore, the RS:Flight incorporates all of the design advantages listed above to achieve maximum performance when used to provide a pure Foil-Drive racing board. |
