I just bought 3 Pryde NRs (6.2, 5.0, 4.2). Ive sailed 1 time with the 6.2 and it felt really nice. Definitly has the low end power, not sure about stability yet.
I went with NR over the Zone & Core based on who the sail was being used by. I have more in common with Bjorn size wise than the other guys. I am currently at 215 pounds and dropping and just over 6 foot tall. If you are in the 150 pound range you might have better luck with a softer sail.
If you can, do the try before you buy thing and see for yourself.
I dont have experience with the other sails you mention. |

IF you are sailing places like Rio and Crissy then the only way to go is the NR. Its got great range and stability. The Zone is a dedicated wave sail that is de-powers in an instant. Ive owed both and for bump & jump the NR is king. |

Ive gotten out a few times.
Sailed the 4.2 in 40+ conditions and was overpowered (big suprise there) so its hard to really rate that experience.
When I sailed the 5.0 on 2 seperate 25mph days it was awesome. Definitly the best sail Ive ever used.
I have used the 6.2 a few times also and it feels really good. Has a lot more power than what I am used to and therefore Im planing when I would normally be sitting on the beach. |

Why not try the new Ezzy Freestyles. They take trade ins on old sails which is why I use Ezzys. Their reputation is for durability but the new ones are also light. |

late on this one, but I just have to say something good about the North VooDoo. I really like these sails. Good power, stable draft, lightweight, and bomb-proof. I especially liked the 4.7. North has definitely improved.
I think this sail is very good for 4.7 and below. I sailed a 5.3, but I think something a bit lighter would be better for that size.
IMHO, I think NR still rules, but VooDoo is a very good deal, perhaps from the standpoint its
so sturdy. |
