RS Feva Mainsheet Racing Heavywind Premium Tapered Red – 8 mm

This RS Feva Racing Heavywind Premium Tapered mainsheet is the refined 8 mm option in the Water Robin RS Feva mainsheet range. It is designed for sailors who want maximum grip and control in stronger wind conditions, combined with the smoother handling and reduced weight of a ready-made tapered setup.

The mainsheet is 9.5 metres long and made from an 8 mm red racing line with a Dyneema core and a 32-plait Dyneema/Technora/polyester cover. The Dyneema core gives excellent strength and low stretch, while the technical cover provides grip, durability and reliable handling under higher loads.

The tapered construction reduces unnecessary cover and weight where a full cover is not needed. This helps the sheet run more smoothly through the blocks and gives a lighter, more responsive feel while keeping the grip and comfort of the 8 mm covered section where it matters most.

If you prefer to make your own custom taper, the standard RS Feva Mainsheet Racing Heavywind 8 mm version is also available.
