Atlas NeilPryde 2011 red
solid power with lightweight efficiency – onshore wave sail
With its power and lift this sail is made for the rider looking to have optimum performance in onshore conditions while still working well in all other conditions. It gets planing quickly and has the best upwind performance a wave sail can offer. The sail gives great lift for jumping while constant drive will help you make the most out of every wave.
Zitat Philip Köster:
„The Atlas is the most powerful sail in the NeilPryde wave range. It helps me to plane early and has a lot of lift for high jumps.“
Zitat Antoine Albeau:
„from Maui to Europe - and know that I have the power I need to perform on the water.“
• The draft extends higher up than in other wave sails to generate power and upwind performance in onshore conditions.
• Low centre batten for increased stability.
• Large luff curve for increased body tension and stability.
• Low clew position, for better release in the head and better balance.
• Moderate deep profile creates the most lift of all the NeilPryde
• High skin (surface) tension gives good response and profile
stability.
• The center of effort is perfectly balanced between both hands to combine a powerful profile with neutral feeling.
• The low Aspect ratio will keep the power low down where the rider
can use it.
Rigging Tip:
Make sure not to over down-haul as this would compromise the up-wind performance and low end power.
