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, and the KA.RACE 2022 continues to be a 7 carbon/composite batten/4 camber sail.
The most notable change for 2022 is that we have decided to add the former 4-camber KA.SPEED sizes (4.7 - 5.2 - 5.7) to the KA.RACE range. Main reason for this is 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 will remain our 3-camber Freerace sail, KA.RACE our 4-camber Race sail and the KA.SPEED 5.7 will replace the KA.RACE 5.6 this year.
The smaller sizes KA.RACE will be speed-oriented for 2022, 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 have been tuned for Slalom racing, with more shape added in panels 5, 6 and 7 to increase accelleration. 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, with new graphics to top it off.
