Plachta Neilpryde Zone

_on & off

tetron and PVC leading edge allow the Zone to power up or depower instantly. 

_maneuverable

low swing weight due to High Ultra-Scrim content and neutral profile.

_soft and forgiving

straightest luff curve for reduced vertical body tension combined with low back hand pressure. 

ULTRA SCRIM

Premium reinforced rip-stop scrim laminate.
Ultra Scrim has Ultra High Molecular Density yarns and balanced uni-directional strength characteristics. It is 25% lighter than Ultra Web and 2x stronger than traditional scrims.

POWERFUSE

POWERFUSE panels are there to strategically re-distribute the tack and clew loads throughout the sail’s body; improving the sail reflex without deforming the laminates.
POWERFUSE transforms wind energy into power, instead of losing it through material stretch.
It helps profile stability and prevents deformation.

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.

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.

TWIN SEAMS

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