CD Sails Semi Radial Line DRS 74-100lbs

After year of vast research, fine tuning and continuous organized testing in different conditions and setups we can confirm that CD DRS is highly performing sail in all conditions in both – reaching and downwind.CD Sails are first to bring  in  current  Optimist sailing landscape the   semi-radial  cut   that  is  performing  at the TOP level. 

Special features of DRS semi-radial model

Combination of radial and horizontal panels offers all the advantages of radial designs without loosing winning features of horizontal panel construction.

•           The radial design in the bottom part helps to avoid deformation of the sail shape in the critical areas of major pressure.  Carefully studied panel positioning assures the greater stability of the shape even in the hard wind conditions. 
•           Being more stable in the foot area the sail responds better to the regulation of the foot.   
•       Higher durability  
•       Our sails have a special dyneema pretensioning system in the top  of the sail. This  extra performance feature assures that  the sail keeps it's shape under tension. In the long run, the sail, without this system creates a vibration that affects not only the aesthetics of the sail but also the performance.

• Recommended setups:

  Lighter sailors (38–41 kg):
