RS V5 Carbon 380
The RS V5 Carbon 380 from Exocet stands out as the most advanced and tactical design in their range, exclusively dedicated to raceboarding.
In the quest for victory on the race course, every detail matters. Sailors must be prepared to excel in various conditions, from marginal winds to strong gusts and challenging waters. They need the ability to fine-tune and adjust their equipment on the fly, maximizing every bit of wind available.
The RS V5 Carbon 380 is specifically engineered to provide racers with the essential tools to gain an advantage within the fleet.
Significant improvements have been made to the board, particularly in reaching and sailing close-hauled. The daggerboard and mast track have been slightly repositioned forward, enhancing the board's sensitivity and getting on a rail quicker in lighter and marginal winds.
The tail section has undergone modifications, incorporating a light V design to enhance course stability and navigation in choppy waters. This update also offers improved release during reaching. Combined with the readjusted fins position, this synergy generates enhanced grip and power when planing.
The daggerboard has been further fine-tuned to optimize its weight and effectiveness on the race course.
While the RS V5 Carbon 380 is primarily designed as a tactical racing board, it doesn't compromise on fun and performance for recreational use.
