Neilpryde Atlas 2023

ATLAS PRO 2023
Superb early planning combined with controllable power, stability, upwind performance and high wind control make this a favourite sail for onshore conditions and / or heavier sailors.

5 battens for ultimate performance. Atlas will allow you to blast over whitewater and jump higher than ever while still feeling soft enough to perform well on the waves when conditions allow.

KEY FEATURES - 

> POWERFUSE 2.0 - Powerfuse clew and tack are our “signature” fully laminated radial overlapping internal panels used in PRO and PRO-HD constructions. The 2023 version is redesigned to be lighter in weight compared to previous Powerfuse generations.
The unique feature of Powerfuse construction (also shared with Radial HD panels) is how the internal panels are cut and placed in a radial overlapping pattern creating a very strong, multiple layer laminate at high load points (tack and clew) and then gradually reducing the number of overlapping layers to distribute the loads progressively into the main sail body.

> LIGHTWEIGHT SCRIM - Centre upper panels use 2mil LIGHTWEIGHT SCRIM laminate to minimize weight while providing outstanding rip resistance due to the high yarn density of this material. Lightweight 3mil laminate with unidirectional TECHNORA fibres strategically placed in the leech panels to control stretch and stabilize the shape of the sail.

> TAFFETA LUFF PANEL - Rip-stop Taffeta X-Ply laminate luff panel combines excellent stitch holding properties with responsive elasticity which makes the sail softer and more forgiving than regular X-Ply but lighter and more responsive compared to Dacron.

> Drive & Acceleration - Tight leech provides power for early planing and upwind performance.

> Wide Wind Range - A large tuning range that allows the rider to trim the sail for all conditions, thanks to the combination of a pronounced luff curve in the boom area and a high outhaul tension that stabilizes the profile. 

> Stability - Greater luff curve than the Combat and Zone to provide ultimate high wind control.

> 5 Batten Layout - 5 batten layout to provide greater stability and lighter feeling.
