Used a 6.7 NP RS Slalom MkII yesterday generously given by Sam at WSS.
Straight out of the box it was a great sail. easy to rig, light & soft feeling on the water.
Absolute perfection to rotate every time and just so easy to use. Great acceleration, great top end and easy to gybe.
Gotta be pleased with a PB on a AB+ 90 of 34.4. Never even looked like being over powered and it was as gusty as ever.
If you want a sail that is easy to use for GPS sailing and just keeps on going quicker & quicker give one a go, you will definitely be wrapped.

The Mk 11 was actually faster than the first lot of the new RS Racing sails.

Quote from Kevin Ozee NP Maui;

Aloha,

The racers are testing RSS MKII sails against RS Racing sails in slalom sizes - and, yes, the MKII sails are faster. But, not as fast as the new RS Racing slalom sizes...

The prototype sails I've used just feel lighter and more stable - easier to go fast, so you can push them harder for better top speed.

I'll second that. I have an RSS Mk11 7.8m, I'd say it's the best sail I've owned. Fast, efficeint and smooth. It was a great upgrade to my 06 V8, brought a new lease of life to my slalom boards. It was managable with gusts of up to 20-25 knots but kept me on the plane in 12 knots.Think I'll have to try the 6.7m.... Sam
