FOLLOWING UP ON THE COMPLETE REDESIGNED FROM 2024 FEATURING AN INCREASED LUFF CURVE AND REDUCED HEAD GEOMETRY FOR IMPROVED FLIGHT CONTROL AND WIND RANGE The WARP_FOIL extends our 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 design of the 20.24 represented a milestone, as we were able to massively improve the wind range (= improved average speed) and the flight control in the upper range (= improved V-Max). To achieve this we significantly increased the luff curve and reduced the head size. A shortened boom length and the incorporation of a massive double-foil sleeve size were further key design elements.The WARP_FOIL 2024 concept was very well received, so we decided to build on its success with an evolved version. By updating the batten configuration to a stiffer setup, we’ve maintained the sail's incredible efficiency while enhancing control in stronger winds. This change is paired with a slightly flatter entry of the sail, which improves top speed across all sizes. Together, these updates make the WARP_FOIL an even better foil sail for 2025In our eyes, the WARP_FOIL 20.25 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!
