Experience race sail performance without the complexities of a pure slalom sail with the NeilPryde V8. Featuring 2 mini cams and a narrower luff sleeve, the V8 is designed for easier rigging, gybing, and waterstarting compared to traditional race sails.
Key Features:
High Performance, Easy Handling: The V8 delivers exceptional early planning and speed, rivaling advanced slalom sails, yet it's easier to handle around the race course. Ideal for both foil and fin setups, it offers versatility across various conditions.
Custom Internally Laminated Upper Panels: Ensures vibrant, long-lasting colors and a responsive feel. Internally printed laminated film on upper panels enhances durability and maintains a crisp appearance over time.
Double Luff Construction: Unique to the V8 and V8 Flight, this construction includes an overlaid monofilm panel and an X-Ply panel. It provides excellent stitch holding properties and responsive load distribution for enhanced strength in high-load areas.
Fastest Freeride Sail: Borrowing concepts from the RS
sail line, the V8 offers top speed and acceleration without the complexity of a fully race-tuned sail.
Ease of Use: Lightweight and stable, the V8 is easier to rig than a full-on race sail. Its twin cam setup and reduced downhaul tension on the narrower luff sleeve facilitate quicker gybing and waterstarting while maintaining high-speed performance.
Versatility with Foil or Fin: Equally proficient on foil or fin setups, ensuring optimal performance in any session.
7 Batten Layout: Provides ultimate control and stability, essential for handling high winds and maintaining a precise profile during maneuvers.
Twin Cam Design: Features 2 mini cambers that streamline rigging while enhancing the sail's aerodynamics and stability, particularly in challenging wind conditions.
The NeilPryde V8 sail combines race-ready performance with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for windsurfers seeking speed, control, and versatility on the water.
