DRS - SEMI-RADIAL SAIL- DISRUPTING TECHNOLOGY
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 for the weight range of 40-52 kg.
CD DRS sail has already shown a great performance in numerous regattas including Optimist European Championship 2024 -by winning last 2 races it took a 4th place overall in combination with the CD Sails Mast and Italian Optimist Optimist Championship winner.
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.
2 types of DRS within suggested range of 40-52 kg
Currently in DRS Range there are 3 sails in the DRS semiradial line:
DRS - : designed for weight 34-39 kg
DRS : designed for weight 39/40 - 46 kg
DRS++: designed for weight 46+ kg
When ordering the sail, please write your actual weight in the order notes , so we can prepare correct DRS sail adapted to your weight
Tuning Guide
Suggested with
- Medium sprit (we suggest the sprit that is not too flexible such as MK3, Optimast Red, other similar medium sprits )
- CD Mast -> check out CD MAST HERE or other medium mast
When to choose DRS line
- DRS line performs the best in hands of sailors that have already acquired more experience and developed more sensibility in regulation and handling of sail.
Some of the first results
- Winner of Italian championship
- World Championship 2024
- World Championship Vice-Champion sail
- Leadership position during 10 races out of 11 in Optimist World Championship
-2 DRS in the top 10 in Optimist World Championship - European Championship
- 4th in Europeans already during the test&development period together with CD mast
All our sails have a special dynema pretensioning system in the top of the sail. This extra performance features assures that the sail keeps it's shape and tension. If sail does not have this dynema and dynema pretensioning, sail can have the vibration that modifies the shape over the time.
