about the sail
Welcoming your new favorite foil sail, if you crave for speed just as much as for controllability. Our Designer Robert Stroj captured the core attributes of this sail fittingly in three words: Fast, Light, Easy – and this sail truly is inspired by our top notch foil racing sail, the Flight Evo II.This high aspect ratio design foil sail has a racy set up, coming with 6 battens and 2 cambers and a large foot, fitting perfectly to the board and foil set up. As the name already indicates, it is the foil version of our speedy V8, the favorite sail for all freeracers. This sail impresses with a very lightweight thanks to smaller cambers and controllable design, the main difference to a full on racing sail that requires more time in rigging and tuning – not with the V8 Foil, it is set up in no time, meaning you make maximum use of your time on the water. It is the perfect sail to use with our Flight foils.

Mast bend curve and Sail-Mast compatibility
NeilPryde sails are designed around specific mast bend curves following Progresssive Flex concept.
Shorter masts 340cm and 370cm have a Flex Top curve,
larger sizes from 400cm to 490cm follow a Constant Curve Flex Top,
and two largest sizes, 520cm and 550cm are Constant Curve masts.
Using a proper NeilPryde mast with a NeilPryde sail will guarantee maximum rig performance.
