2025 NeilPryde Racing Evo XVI
Due to the overwhelming success of our 2023 and 2024 RS:Racing sails, the EVOXVI design is closely based on that of the EVOXV, including technological advancements from the introduction of new materials: Taffeta in the upper luff sleeve and Lite Skin Aramid in the clew.
The new materials have allowed us to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive race sail.
6 out of 7 battens are pure carbon tubes, reducing weight and stabilizing the profile of the sail.
The 5.6 is now based on our extremely successful 5.7 Speed specific sail but with a reduced foot, optimized for slalom.
TECH HIGHLIGHTS:
AIRFLOW TUBULAR CARBON BATTENS
Tubular carbon 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.
INTERNALLY PRINTED
Internally printed, laminated panels. Lightweight and durable.
Ultra clear window
Light weight and extra clear.
Quadruple Luff Construction
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.
New for 2024, Taffeta in the upper luff sleeve increases stretch resistance, performance and durability.
LITE SKIN ARAMID
Extremely strong, abrasion resistant and light weight. New for 2024.
Sail Features:
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.
Quadruple Luff Construction
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.
Introduced in 2024, Taffeta in the upper luff sleeve increases stretch resistance, performance and durability.
7 Batten Design
Ultimate control and stability are provided by the 7 batten design.
Airflow Batten Layout
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.
Leading Edge Rib
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.
New Materials in Luff and Clew
The new materials have allowed us to improve durability and increase stretch resistance to create an even more responsive and competitive race sail.
5.6 Optimized in 2025
The 5.6 is now based on our extremely successful 5.7 Speed specific sail but with a reduced foot, optimized for slalom.
Size: 4.9, 5.3, 5.6, 6.5, 7.4, 8.2, 9.0
