Duotone Warp_Foil 2024

Windsurf sail maintenance

Rinse the sail with fresh water after use - especially after sailing in salt water - and let it dry completely, rolled up or hanging in the shade. Avoid leaving the sail stretched out in direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays break down the material over time.

When rigging, don't pull the sail too tight, as this puts strain on the fabric and seams. Regularly check the battens, cambers, and luff sleeve for wear, and replace worn parts in time.

Store the sail dry, clean, and rolled up in a cool, ventilated space - never damp or crumpled in the car trunk. Avoid contact with sharp objects, and never place anything heavy on top of the sail. To clean stains, use only mild soapy water and a soft cloth - never strong cleaning products or a pressure washer.

What is the Duotone Warp_Foil 2024 designed for?

The sail is a dedicated foil racing sail developed for foil slalom under PWA and IFCA rules. It is made to win low-drag hydrofoil races and for ambitious foil sailors who want maximum speed and control.

What sizes is the Warp_Foil 2024 available in?

The sail comes in five sizes from 4.6 to 8.7 m2, so you can cover everything from light winds to high-wind foil racing. Choose the size that matches your weight and wind conditions.

Can I use the Warp_Foil 2024 for regular fin sailing?

The sail is specifically developed for hydrofoiling, with around 70% less drag than traditional fin sailing. For fin sailing, a sail from Duotone's slalom range is recommended instead, as the profile and twist pattern are completely different.

Which mast should I use with the Warp_Foil 2024?

The sail is designed for an SDM mast, and Duotone recommends using the recommended mast for each size. The sail only performs optimally with the correct mast, as its stiffness is part of the design.

Why are the carbon battens excluded from the warranty?

The Warp_Foil is equipped with 4 carbon tube battens, which are stiffer than fiberglass battens but also more fragile. Therefore, Duotone excludes them from the warranty—so handle them carefully when rigging and packing up.

What are the benefits of Hyper Cam 2.0 cambers?

Hyper Cam 2.0 cambers have screw-adjustable length and ensure smooth rotation when tacking. This provides greater stability, better aerodynamics, and maximum performance at race pace.

How does the Warp_Foil 2024 differ from previous versions?

The 20.24 design focuses on an expanded wind range and control at the upper wind limit through an increased luff curve, an extended luff with less top, a shorter boom, more twist between battens 1-3, and a four-piece double foil sleeve.

How can I best care for the sail?

Rinse the sail with fresh water after use, let it dry in the shade, and store it rolled up in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to protect the material from UV degradation.
