DRS - FIRST SEMI-CUSTOM SAIL
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 40-50kg.
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.
Customization within suggested range of 39-52 kg
Design particularity allows us to focus on the individual needs of sailor. We are able to provide the optimization of the sail for the sailor's weight.
Sailors should be in the indicated range of 39-52 kg with possibility to optimize the sail
When ordering the sail, we suggest to communicate your actual weight, so we can make DRS sail adapted to your individual needs.
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 masts
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.
