I don't know what to do... These things are on my mind:
- That 5.5 RSSlalom MK3 is awesome, BUY another!!!!
- The 6.7 RSR Evo1 has a incredible high end!!!
- I feel the 6.7 might have some shortcomming in ultrahigh speed 40kn+++
- The 7.0 RSR Evo2 has incredible low end!!!
- The 6.2 RSS... would it be faster? I can sell my 430 X9= $$$
- The 6.2 low/end is quite good... Maybe as good as my current 6.7
- The 6.2 RSR Evo2 proven concept...
- Noo time before competition to tune a new sail
What should I do??? I am very curious what you guys would advise. I can't buy all sails, but one sail is possible. Please click and help me out! If you have some time it would be nice to read why too.
- keep 6.7 RSR evo1
- replace by RSS MK3 6.2
- replace by RSR Evo2 6.2
- replace by RSS MK3 7.0
- replace by RSR Evo2 7.0

Hi Eric,
Replaced my RS-racings (Evo I 6.7 and 5.8) by RS Slalom MKIII's (5.5, 6.2 and 7.0) and never felt a moment bad about it. When you have money for one sail and mainly want to use it in combination with your speedboards I would go for a 6.2. In addition, when you use the MKIII's in combination with a X9 the difference with the EvoII's will be very marginal. So from a price point of view the MKIII is more "value for money".
Cheers,
Nico
Thanks Nico!
I also haven't had a bad session with the new RS:Slalom MKIII 5.5 which I own now. And a 6.2 seems to be with little wind as quick as the 6.7 I own now...
Cheers,
Erik
Unfortunately I am not living in the Netherlands anymore otherwise you could have compared my 6.2 and 7.0 vs your 6.7. This would maybe help making your choice.....
I know you are sponsored by Kater so you probably get a reduction on the sails. If not you can save some extra money by buying the MKIII in Germany. Compared to the price for a 6.2 in France I saved 245,- euros (transport included). For the Netherlands the difference is I think a 100,- euros less.

Thank you for the tip, I just asked what a RSSlalom would cost me @ www.Kater.nl
I know there can be a difference in new price of gear between different shops/countries. But I will buy my gear @ Kater since they support me on all aspects, not only reduction of the price. They also give me a lot usefull information, long ago they adviced me to go for RS:Slalom. Now I wish I listened earlier...
Also the Kater team is quite good and helpfull for everyone with a stuff bought @ the kater shop. I have no problems to do sometimes fine tuning for a customer @ the beach.
Cheers,
Erik
Happy to hear that there are shops like Kater that are good and helpfull to the costumers. When there was a shop like that close to Montpellier I would also buy it there even when buying via Internet would be cheaper. Unfortunately there isn't...
Regards,
Nico
