Description

The WARP_FOIL extends the Duotone PWA and IFCA fin slalom champion sail range. It’s a specific and highly advanced foil design suited for foil racers looking for something that complements the low-drag of the hydrofoil. Compared to traditional fin sailing you have approximately 70% lower drag on the foil. Therefore it requires a totally different sail design (profile, twist pattern, aspect ratio) to match the low-drag hydrofoils. The 20.24 lineup is fully focused on the new PWA slalom foil rules.

The major focus when developing the new Duotone WARP_FOIL 20.24 was to increase the wind range (= improved average speed) and flight control in the top end (=improved v-max). To achieve this the luff curve was substantially increased which leads to a much more controlled and balanced behaviour when fully powered up. We also increased the luff length even further which allowed us to reduce the head geometry. The smaller head creates a smaller leverage thus improves control and balance.

More improvements incorporated into the 20.24 design:

  • The boom length got shortened which reduces the backhand pressure
  • The sail twist between batten 1-3 increased for more release which improves top speed and acceleration
  • The massive double-foil sleeve is now made out of 4 pieces and has a tremendous effect on the flying shape aerodynamics

In our eyes, the WARP_FOIL 20.24 redefines the benchmark of the control to performance to wind-range ratio. It’s purely designed to win low-drag hydrofoil races!

Attention: for maximum performance the WARP_FOIL is equipped with 4 carbon tube battens. These battens are stiffer but unfortunately also more fragile than glass tube battens. Therefore, they are excluded from our warranty!
