Slalom/Speed...
The
Koncept is our new high performance range to
replace the small formula sizes. Sizes are 5.7 and
6.6.
This
sail will appeal to those who just want to go flat
out.
It
is still a relatively light sail with only 3 cams.
The stand-out feature is it's "sliperyness"
- there is no limit to it's top end speed.
It
has been designed as a step towards KA's (still very
secret) attempt at the outright sailing speed record
2004-2005
What riders say about
this sail:
Tony Lorenz:
I had my Koncept going all Saturday (March 20
2004) at Sandy Point (Victoria, Australia) on my Sonic.
It kicked arse. As wind increased, so did the speed
difference with others. Talk about closing the gap,
how does resting sail foot on back toes sound. Wind
was up and down with strong fronts coming through,
never altered a thing, the sail just took it all.
draught stayed put.
Andrew Daff:
Holy COW!! You are either very arsey or a very good
designer!! ;)
Sailed 6.6 late this arvo in 20-25 kts wsw. Wasn't
sure if it was too strong for the sail. No way! Could
have handled more, easy.
I wasn't too sure as I rigged the sail if the stability
would be there. I was wondering if there was enough
luff curve. I downhauled it pretty far and outhauled
to (as I measured later) the exact length printed
on the sail (195cm). After an hour or so the wind
faded a bit to 15-20k with pretty bad holes up the
northern end. I let the outhaul out a centimeter and
it still felt really good. I little more backhandy
in the gusts coming upwind but still really good.
No worries pumping onto the plane after jibing in
a hole. Pumps really well! Good bottom end!
You seem to have hit it spot on.
Tony Salmons:
That is unbelievable. It so fast and stable!!
I HAVE to have one!
Peter Cleary:
That is the best sail I have ever used. It does
not 'depower' or overpower. It just seems to always
have the right power. It has the best of a no cam
sail and the best of a cammed sail all in one package.
6.6 Available now. Other sizes coming.
