2026 Duotone Warp_Foil 20.26
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 has proven to be super competitive, so we decided to build on its success with an evolved version. Last year we have updated the batten configuration to a stiffer setup with a slightly flatter entry which enhanced the control in stronger winds and improved top speed across all sizes.
For 2026 we introduce a new mast-sleeve construction in all sizes:
- Less movement in the sail especially in the high-end >> more stability
- Less drag
- Better acceleration
In our eyes, the WARP_FOIL 20.26 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!
Key Features:
INCREASED LUFF CURVE
Much increased wind range and more stable flight control in the top end
RADICAL HIGH ASPECT GEOMETRY
Radical high aspect geometry to increases the efficiency on the hydrofoil
MASSIVE DOUBLE FOIL SLEEVE
Tremendous improvement of the flying shape aerodynamics
FLAT ENTRY PROFILE
Reduces the aerodynamic drag to gain more speed, better acceleration plus more lift
HYPER CAM 2.0
Completely new and technically superior: the camber revolution with adjustable length - for optimised rotation and increased performance
