Duotone Outhaul Kit Race 2024

Maintenance of the Duotone Outhaul Kit Race

Rinsing: Rinse the entire kit in fresh, lukewarm water after each use in salt water. Never let salt water dry on ropes, pulleys or fittings, as salt crystals can wear down the material and affect how it works.

Drying: Let all parts air-dry completely in the shade before putting them away. Avoid direct sunlight, heaters and tumble dryers, as UV rays and heat can degrade ropes and plastic parts over time.

Storage: Store the kit in a dry, cool and dark place - ideally in a ventilated bag or box. Avoid damp environments, as they can cause corrosion on metal parts.

Inspection: Regularly check the ropes for wear and sharp edges, and make sure the pulleys, cleats and knots move freely. Replace worn parts before your next sailing trip to ensure trouble-free trimming.

What does the Duotone Outhaul Kit Race do?

The kit optimizes the trim range of your windsurf sail, so you can fine-tune the outhaul trim and precisely adapt the sail’s profile to the conditions - an essential feature for racing and high-performance sails.

Is the kit difficult to install?

No, Duotone itself describes it as extremely easy to install. You attach the kit to the sail’s outhaul, then you can adjust the trim as you go.

Does the kit fit my sail?

The kit is designed for race-freeride and high-performance sails, but according to Duotone, it even fits wave and freestyle sails. If you’re unsure, check the recommendations for your sail model or contact the store.

Who is this product for?

It’s especially useful for racers and season types who want to get the most out of their high-performance sails - but anyone who wants more precise trimming can use it.

Why is outhaul trim important?

Outhaul trim controls the sail’s depth and power. With an extended trim range, you can switch between more power and speed and more control and comfort - depending on the conditions and your style.

Is it available in one size?

Yes, the Duotone Outhaul Kit Race comes in Onesize, designed to fit standard windsurf sails.

How do I maintain the kit?

Rinse the parts with fresh water after use in salt water, let them dry in the shade, and store them somewhere dry and dark. Check the ropes and fittings regularly for wear.
