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.
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):
Mast: MK3 Flex, CD Soft
Boom: 45 mm
Sprit: MK3 HF
Heavier sailors (42–45 kg):
Mast: MK3, MK4, CD Medium, CD Hard
Boom: 45 mm or 48 mm
Sprit: MK3 Flex, MK3
Tuning Advice:
Adjust the stiffness of your gear according to your position within the weight range. Lighter sailors benefit from extra power and flexibility, while heavier sailors need stability and control.
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 and have some physical strength
Some of the results
- Italian champion
- World Championship 2024 Vice-Champion sail
- South American champion in combination with CD Medium mast

DRS sail technology
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.
