Item # nsrt727srzz-north-sails
The new R_TYPE's main strength is excellent acceleration from low speeds, derived from its low end profile and excellent twist dynamics.
A slightly lower sail foil tension than in race sails permits easy and comfortable pumping. Sheeting in will usually suffice to get planing. The R_TYPE simply glides through wind holes! These properties make it the ideal choice for days with marginal planing conditions. R_Type is the ideal sail for the Race Board Class and officially certified for the Bic Tecno Class.
Key Features of the North Sails R Type 7.2m Windsurfing Sail:
Hyper.Leech II - Just like the wing of an airplane, it has a sharp bend along the trailing edge. The exact point of the bend was shifted a little higher up compared to last year's design. This enhances load distribution at the leech and makes the top extremely responsive. The result is improved loose leech twist for more control and a more stable rig in gusts and overpowered situations.
TT.Top II - Reduced concave shape for a better distribution of loads and a more effective, three dimensional top twist. That means that in high wind conditions, the top not only twists horizontally but also vertically. Gusts are virtually neutralized and the rig remains stable in you hands.
Dura.Luff.Patch - Reinforces the area around the boom, creates a smooth transition to the monofilm and prevents cracks in the film.
Hyper.Cam - The first hard camber that rotates like a soft cam
X.Ply Solid Foot Construction - No less than three different types of X.Ply with various fiber densities are used. All materials are carefully selected to match the range of application and to achieve an optimum ratio between durability and weight.
