2010 koncept: slalom-speed
Speed/Slalom...
Speed sailors need little introduction to the Koncept. As the sail which hold the all time fastest average speed on GPSSS and has reached a 2 second peak speed in excess of 50 knots, it is held in the highest regard.
What is not so widely known is how accessible the Koncept is to all sailors who crave speed. With 7 battens, 3 cams and a moderate width luff sleeve, the Koncept is a really friendly sail , easy to rig, light and manageable on the water. This is definitely not a beast designed for pro racers only.
For 2010 every detail has again been put under the microscope.
The outline has been changed with some area removed from the head and added in the boom area. This has increased top speed by reducing drag and also improved the low end power and acceleration.
The clew "cutaway" has been increased for a lighter feel and improved leech twist, and the luff sleeve has been widened in the boom area for even greater draft stability.
Durability has taken another step forward with a whole range of abrasion resistance features added.
Simply put the Koncept conquers!!

Combine the simple versatility of the Kult with the breathtaking speed and stability of the Koncept. The result is the Koyote, pure freeride.
With all the learning's from the 2010 speed and race programs baked in, such as the reduced head profile and stepped clew, the Koyote is not shy about sprinting past it,s rivals. Make no mistake, this is a seriously fast sail, having broken the 40 knot barrier on a number of occasions.
However there is much more to the Koyote than just going fast. There is the simple pleasure of cruising your local spot, of leaning into your first carve gybe and of "getting air"off a great little ramp. This sails versatility is undeniable.
The power is placed forward and low. Combine this with the short boom length and the feel is light, locked in and stable. The dynamic twist absorbs the gusts and transfers them into lightening acceleration.
Full Xply construction, carbon composite battens and loads of Aramid reinforcing, it is built to take plenty of punishment.
