Go a new 4.7 on the way, still a few kicking around But becoming Rare!!. I think Neilpryde will be bringing out some smaller sails than 5.8 as smallest in the next year or so.

Don't worry Izaak, before you know it you'll be in your 20's and the need of a sub 5m sail will be a thing of the past

Can somebody knowledgeable comment on how much downhaul tension the new NP race sails require? Are theys still as bad as in the days of RS racing as documented by petermandk?
I'm used to maui sails TR's which require very low downhaul tension.
On another site, I read that the newest evo has been beefed up - have there been durability probs in the older evos?
I'm looking to buy a used evo I or II 8.6 via the mail, so I can't really get a firsthand perspective of the sail.
thanks!

Took the new 10.0 for a spin on the weekend.... Very pleased with how the new sail felt. Lots more upwind drive compared with my old RS6.

Exactly, he doesn't have to rinse them or whatsoever....
(not only is he the pryde rider, he's the starboard/pryde dealer...)

He tried the 7.0 this arvo :

Yep he's quite short, probably just under 1.70, check his size compared to A2

The RSR Evo4's are faultless, three things have stood out. Build quality heaps better, huge wind range and a very stable perfectly grunty sail. Too much to mention on how good they are.
