Hi Andrew,
I sailed the Koncept 7.5 2009 today, awesome! What did you do with it?! It feels turbocharged, yet very light and controllable. Normally I sail at least 1m2 larger than the rest, but I did not need that today (other 80-90kg guys sailed 7.8 RS Racings , the 7.5 Koncept was competitive, despite my weight of 112kg's). Puzzled, because visually the changes compared to the 2008 model are not that obvious, but very satisfied with the way the modifications work out. Can't wait to give the smaller sizes a try!

Chris and Pete unravelled their new 6.6's yesterday. You should be
commended because the sails look so much better in the flesh than in
the pics and renderings. The quality, of both material and manufacturing appears to be a marked improvement over previous years.
Might even need to get some...................

Thanks Andrew. I've received it.(Wide tail carbon boom)
I sailed with it yesterday on the new 7.5 Koncept. Great boom and awesome sail. The sail felt fantastic – so smooth and powerful. I racked up 117km's on it effortlessly. It rigged perfectly with no wrinkles or creases, and gybed very smoothly also. Can't wait to try the others.
Many Thanks.

Hi Guys,
We had a nice day for 5m speed sailing today with WSW and 25-32 knots of wind and the '09 5m Koncept just Rocks! Very smooth and stable and beautiful drive in just the right place. I rigged it on the KA 100% 4m RDM with the RDM cams and one cam spacer in the bottom two and a normal, small non roller cam at the top with a spacer. I managed PB's for the 5 x 10 sec speed and 500m and it just felt sooo easy. I can't wait for the next 30 knots WSW day!
