RS:RACING EVOXVI

SLALOM RACING / FOIL RACING

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.

INNOVATION

Designed and tested at our NeilPryde Maui Design Center by Robert Stroj, then further developed through our team riders' feedback from across the world. No stone is left uncovered in our relentless drive to be the best at what we do.

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.
