Construction & Features

• Wide double luff
• increases profile stability and low-end power.
• 2 cambers ensure smooth rotation and constant drive in gusts.
• 7 full-race battens keep the sail rigid and fast.
• High control even when overpowered.
• High-aspect outline improves upwind angles and acceleration.
• Optimized leech for progressive release and efficient pumping.
• Light but reinforced construction for durability and reactivity.
• Race-like performance with easier handling than full slalom sails.

The Neil Pryde V8 delivers the perfect blend of slalom performance and freerace accessibility. With 2 cambers and 7 full battens, it maintains a locked-in, powerful profile that accelerates fast and stays stable even in heavy gusts. The wide double luff improves aerodynamics and power efficiency, while the high-aspect outline offers superior upwind performance and reduced drag.

Despite its race-oriented design, the V8 remains easy to rig and handle. The lightweight construction enhances responsiveness, pumping efficiency and early planing, making the sail feel lively yet controlled.

Perfect for free-race, long-distance sailing and recreational slalom, the V8 is aimed at intermediate to advanced riders who want race-level performance without dealing with the demanding nature of full slalom sails.
