Accessible performance

Directly derived from RS:Flight program, V8 Flight offers similar performance, but with easier jibing, rigging and waterstarts

Foil specific

Designed purely for foil free-race, V8 Flight takes advantages of design features which are not possible to use on fin sails due to the need for control and wind release

Stability

2 cam design provides stiff profile and ease of sail rotation, that increases stability both, in jibes and straight line

Wind range

Thanks to wide range of trimming and super stable profile, V8 Flight has a huge wind range

• Airflow tubular battens - Directly derived from slalom R&D, the airflow batten layout reduces drag and increases speed. Tubular battens offer light weight and optimum stability.
• Internally printed laminated film on upper panels
• Narrow double luff construction - A much narrower luff sleeve than the RS:Flight allows for quicker and easier rigging and minimizes the luff sleeve’s ability to fill with water when submerged after a fall.
• Clear window - Light weight and high visibility.
• High Aspect Design - The outline of V8 Flight is directly derived from the high-aspect design of the RS:Flight. This allows the sail to take maximum advantage of every gust and promotes maximum speed and upwind/downwind performance.
• Tight Leech Design - Since control over chop is not an issue when up on the foil, V8 Flight is designed with a tighter leech than a pure slalom sail. This increases acceleration and efficiency and allows you to use a smaller sail.
• 6 Batten Design - Since foil sails do not need such an emphasis on control, designers were able to reduce the V8 Flight to 6 battens, cutting out unnecessary weight and giving the sail a softer feel and better pumping / gybing abilities.
