Plachta Neilpryde Speedster

_handling and performance

Combination of a narrow sleeve without cambers and race inspired luff curves. 

_power and stability

The tubular battens configuration allows the center of effort to remain in place and reduce the weight while giving optimum profile shape and stability.

_speed and acceleration

Battens are laid out angled up from the mast and, as a result, they end up laying horizontal and parallel to the airflow when sailing, which helps cleaning the airflow along the sail body and reduces drag.

FUSE POCKETS

We have taken out traditional, seperate batten pockets by overlapping body panels to efficiently create a sleeve for battens. This reduces unnecessary weight, simplifies construction and creates a fully symmetrical batten cavity, eliminating the tendency of traditional batten pockets to load differently from one tack to another.

CUSTOM PRINTING

Our exclusive custom printing technology allows us to print the films prior to lamination, giving us the flexibility to use UV resistant multi-coloured custom graphics. The print is of minimal thickness, reducing weight and producing a higher definition of colour. During lamination, the printed side is placed on the inside of the film, which drastically reduces wear and tear. NeilPryde 2020 sails' colors are made to last an eternity.

TWIN SEAMS

Double stitching is used on all critical seams across our sails, allowing them to endure prolonged exposure to high loads and impacts
