PURE SPEED
The RS:SLALOM is designed to deliver performance, ease of use and pure speed exhilaration to the rider. The sail is fast with incredible low-end acceleration and high-end speed.

Compact Outline – Reduced luff length
Compact aspect ratio sails retain high levels of control and handling as the area remains low in the sail, where the sailor has more control over it.

Integrated Compact Clew
Best of both worlds – The best in handling and wind range through a shorter boom, while more stable in the mid leech and foot area through the continuous outline of the sail allowing the tension to run through the parameter of the sail.

3Progressive batten and cam layout
Batten and cam numbers are adjusted to the need of specific sizes. Large sails will need more battens and cams to insure stability while small sails will gain softness and maneuverability with less battens and cams.

Ultracam
Innovative suspended camber system dramatically improves sail rotation and acceleration out of gybes. Simultaneous tuning of battens and cambers makes the sail easy to tune.

Flexhead configuration
A lightweight flexible tube enables the head of the sail to adjust dynamically by allowing twist along the horizontal and vertical axes. This reduces drag increasing top end speed, performance and stability.

Easy to find mast joint
To help w vith pre-downhaul checks, all RS:Racing sails feature a clear mark on the luff pocket to show where the mast joint is when using the recommended mast.

Batten pocket protection
Heavy-duty, abrasion resistant print to help protect the cross-batten area from damage caused by the adjustable outhaul fittings and the boom.

Aerodynamic boom cutout closure
Prevents the apparent wind from blowing into the mast sleeve and generating drag.

Component Luff-Pocket Construction and Integrated Luff Pocket window
The luff pocket construction features a low friction material in the cam area, facilitating easier rotation.
Stiffer material used in the upper luff-pocket reduces sail weight while stabilizing sail entry and twist.
Large window size for good visibility to leeward and ahead.

Fully tubular batten construction
Reduces the weight of the sail while increasing leech reflex.

3-piece batten construction – mid/lower body
A 3-piece batten provides the framework for the design of a smooth, lightweight and stable sail profile.
A. Carbon/fiberglass tube: stiffest section.
B. Hollow mid-section: medium stiffness.
C. Precision Tapered CNC Batten: variable stiffness.

Dynamic Luff-Sleeve Shaping
A. Increasing the width of the double surface leading edge in the area where the profile is the deepest, ie in front of the rider, helps to keep the draft stable in this critical area.
B. Decreasing the width of the double luff in the head allows the sail to twist off more smoothly and under less load. This reduces tension on the leech.

Bat Cam batten adjuster
For the EVO III and MKIV we are introducing a new batten adjuster that will allow you to add the sufficient amount of batten tension without having to worry about damaging you bat-cam or struggling to get the right pressure on the cams.

RIDER IMPRESSION
Julien Quentel
"The RS:SLALOM MKIV is incredibly light in the water, very easy to use. The sail is strong, fast and very stable. A great resource to help you do your best and pass your friends!"
