2005 V8 9.8á 549/253/530
THE MULTI CAM FREERACE SAIL WITH ONE OF THE WIDEST WIND RANGES IN THE FLATWATER LINE UP
A close beneficiary of the Neil Pryde Racing program, the V8’s powerful acceleration and unlimited top end speed make it hard to beat either when drag racing with your friends or out on the race course.
DESIGN OBJECTIVE
To take all the research and development from the Neil Pryde Racing program and put it into a package that is just as fast, but easier to use for the week-end racer or freerider.
The V8 must have a huge wind range and the best low end of the whole Neil Pryde collection.
HOW WAS IT DONE?
The V8’s shaping and design characteristics are taken directly from the current sail in the Neil Pryde racing program. However, to increase the range of use of the sail, it is developed with a standard luff sleeve. The V8 is the narrow sleeve race sail in the Neil Pryde Collection.
DESIGN & SHAPING FEATURES
The deepest profile of all the sails specifically oriented for exceptional early planing and stability.
Longer boom than a slalom sail, but shorter than the pure racing sails for optimum reaching speed / upwind performance ratio.
