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. NEW 06 The stability and the control of the sail are further improved through the use of Neil Pryde’s Compact Boom Length (View Technology Page) DESIGN OBJECTIVE To take all the research & 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. SAIL SPECIFIC FEATURES Seven Batten Configuration Component Luffpocket construction Neil Pryde Component batten system Flexhead Configuration Supercams II Cam Pressure Adjustment System HOW WAS IT DONE? The V8’s shaping and design characteristics are taken directly from the current sail in the Neil Pryde racing program. To increase the range of use of the sail it is developed with a smaller luff sleeve compared to a racing sail. However, the luff sleeve is still much wider than the other recreational flatwater sails. The wide luff sleeve helps to lock in the stability and profile of the sail. The deepest profile of all the recreational sails specifically oriented for exceptional early planing and stability. Extended mast length and a higher aspect ratio makes the sail more forgiving in the chop, lighter feeling and improves acceleration. Longer boom than a slalom sail, but shorter than the pure racing sails for optimum reaching speed / upwind performance ratio.
