Back on topic...come on guys, NP make great sails! So what if their booms, masts etc are *ahem* fragile... if you want a good early planing sail, get a V8! If you want a good wave/bump'n'jump sail, get a Combat or whatever...
And if you want a BETTER sail, get an Ezzy!
Haha

"NeilPryde is proud to be the manufacturer for the RS:X and the 49er Classes and congratulates all the medal winners in these prestigious and extremely successful Olympic events.
“I am a New Zealander and I have lived in Hong Kong for more than 45 years. The RS:X gold medals going to China and New Zealand gives me a tremendous feeling of pride and personal satisfaction from the NEILPRYDE involvement in Olympic Sailing, the pinnacle of the sport" said Mr. Neil Pryde following the medal race. "
(From the NP web site)
Forty five years ago a New Zealander moves to Hong Kong starts a sailmaking company and lives in obscurity until suddenly rocketed to fame by winning the competition to produce a new Olympic windsurfer.
Mysteriously the winner of the prestigious mens gold medal is also a New Zealander.
A coincidence, I don't think so. Surely it was "a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a rat"
