We remain true to our mission statement to stay leaders in innovation and produce very high quality products with a high performance level. The KA.RACE remains our full-blooded professional race sail, created solely to win, with a 7 carbon/composite batten and 4 camber set-up.
Last year already we added the former 4-camber KA.SPEED sizes (4.7 - 5.2 - 5.7) to the KA.RACE range. The main reason for this was that we noticed that the difference in performance between KA.RACE and KA.SPEED was only very slight. For the sake of transparency in our ranges, KONCEPT is our 3-camber Freerace sail, KA.RACE our 4-camber Race sail.
The smaller sizes KA.RACE are speed-oriented, optimised for downwind speed runs with acceleration and top speed exceeding that of a full-blooded race sail, with a refined twist optimisation. Sizes 6.3 and up are tuned for Slalom racing, with more shape added in panels 5, 6 and 7 to increase acceleration. This improved panel lay-out and extra shaping with a more powerful lower foil provide huge drive and acceleration while the slippery upper profile minimises drag, delivering limitless top end speed in the KA.RACE series.
