POWER WAVE SAIL

Back in the range, the Atlas offers a predictable, stable and friendly ride, ideal to use in on-shore wave conditions. Early to plane, the Atlas is up and ready to get into the action with efficient, usable power at all times. Featuring great upwind ability and acceleration, the Atlas pushes hard, when conditions are less than ideal and its high lift characteristics propel you up high in the air during jumps.

CONTROL AND STABILITY -  5 Battens layout keep the profile stable even on strong winds. The even twist provides optimum response, releases any excessive pressure and reduces backhand overload.

UPWIND PERFORMANCE - high leech tension allowing the sail to power up quickly in minimum wind condition, by creating some lift even in the head of the sail

POWER AND ACCELERATION - High draft distribution combined with deep profile generates drive for constant and early planing.

TECHNOLOGY

//Ultra-Web - High performance UHMPE reinforced rip-stop laminate. 
Ultra High Molecular Density Yarns at +/- 40 degrees. Same breaking strength of KevlarTM but offers much better UV resistance. Balanced uni-directional strength characteristics.

//Powerfuse - NEILPRYDE EXCLUSIVE TECHNOLOGY.
Powerfuse panels are there to strategically re-distribute the tack and clew loads throughout the sail’s body; improving the sail reflex without deforming the laminates.
Powerfuse transforms wind energy into power, instead of losing it through material stretch. It helps profile stability and prevents deformation. 

//Continuous luff construction - Elasticity. Stability. Rotation. Lightweight. 
Carries down haul tension in a continuous panel protecting horizontal seams from high loads that put stress on glue and stretches. Durable luff glide sleeve. 

 //Fuse Batten pockets - We have taken out traditional, separate batten pockets by overlapping body panels to efficiently create a sleeve for battens. This reduces unnecessary weight, simplifies construction and creates a fully symmetrical batten cavity, eliminating the tendency of traditional batten pockets too load differently from one tack to another. 

//HD Window - Radial HD panels used in our HD construction are there to strategically re-distribute the tack and clew loads throughout the sail’s body; improving the sail reflex without deforming. RADIAL HD panels are custom stitched per sail size for the HD versions of Combat to offer similar characteristics to Powerfuse at a lower price point. 

//Twin seams - Double stitching is used on all critical seams across our sails, allowing them to endure prolonged exposure to high loads and impacts.
