NEILPRYDE SOLO SAIL 6.5
LIGHT WEIGHT. EASY TO USE.
A wide wind range with favoured performance in the low end, the SOLO is a no cam sail that handles smoothly in the gybes and has a softer feel than the V6 and V8. It is the ideal recreational sail and is great for intermediates just getting onto a plane, in the footstraps, and learning to gybe.
DESIGN OBJECTIVE
- The SOLO is to be a soft and easy handling sail ideal for recreational use or intermediates learning the basics of windsurfing.
- Must be simple to rig and easy to plane on larger freeride boards.
- The foot of the sail should be durable against the non-skid of the board during uphaul.
- The sail should also have good mast compatibility for those just getting into the sport.
ACHIEVED BY:
- Closely basing the SOLO on the design of the Excess and incorporating a lower cut freeride foot for enhanced low end, speed and a comfortable trim. It also has a more forward oriented profile for control.
- Each size has a unique condition specific batten layout and sail outline. In the smaller sizes this means fewer battens, a higher foot and more manoeuvre oriented design. In the larger sizes there are more battens for stability and a lower, more performance orientated foot design.
- Progressive use of monofilm thickness is used to combine a lightweight upper section with a strong bottom and foot area.
- The foot of the sail is constructed out of a combination of X-Ply. Any seams in the foot of the sail are protected against the non-skid of the board.
- Adjustable vario top for greater mast compatibility.
