The V8 is a freerace sail that offers incredible acceleration with each gust including non-planing conditions. It delivers true race sail performance combined with a narrower sleeve, 7 battens and twin Integra-cams to achieve smooth handling and a lighter feel. With extremely early planing, soft rotation, large wind range and great upwind and upper hand control, the V8 has extra power and drive needed to accelerate and go fast on freerace boards. The sail configuration makes it considerably lighter in maneuvers while being less physical and easier to downhaul than pure race sails. Slalom for everyone. www.neilpryde.com
