For 2026, the RS:Racing EVO XVII focuses on the smaller sizes starting at 5.6 m², directly inspired by the speed sail that broke windsurfing speed records in 2024. Expect explosive acceleration, razor-sharp drive, and race-level efficiency.
The larger sizes remain unchanged in design from 2025, including technical advancements through new materials such as taffeta in the upper windward area and Lite Skin Aramid in the clew. For 2026, durability has been further enhanced by using the strongest rip-stop Dacron in the front section of the upper windward area.
These material updates enable greater durability, less stretch, and an even more responsive, competition-ready racing sail.
Six of the seven battens are solid carbon tubes, which reduce weight and stabilize the sail’s profile.
