Item-no. 14240-1215 · Sizes: 4.6–8.7 · Colors: C31 White/Black
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 20.24 lineup is fully focused on the new PWA slalom foil rules.

The major focus when developing the new WARP_FOIL 20.24 was to increase the wind range (= improved average speed) and flight control in the top end (=improved v-max). To achieve this we substantially increased the luff curve which leads to a much more controlled and balanced behaviour when fully powered up. We also increased the luff length even further wich allowed us to reduces the head geometry. The smaller head creates a smaller leverage thus improves control and balance again.
Here are some other improvements we have incorporated into the 20.24 design:
The boom length got shortened which reduces the backhand pressure
We increased the sail twist between batten 1-3 for more release which improves top speed and acceleration
The massive double-foil sleeve is now made out of 4 pieces and has a tremendous effect on the flying shape aerodynamics
In our eyes, the WARP_FOIL 20.24 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
Tech Features
Hyper Cam 2.0
Optimum performance and camber rotation at any time. HYPER CAM 2.0 is the camber revolution for even more sail performance.
iROCKET 2.0
Super-lightweight and aerodynamic.
TWIN TRIM CLEW
Wider range of use, custom tuning options. The secret of the TWIN TRIM CLEW is the two horizontally placed clew eyelets.
DURATECH FOOT
Long-term guarantee for the sail foot. When starting off on the water or catching up, the foot of the sail is constantly dragged over the nonslip coating, particularly for wide boards.
HTS 2.0 HARNESSLINE TRIM SYSTEM
Never position your harness lines incorrectly again. Do away with the tedium of adjusting to the optimum rope position, as well as the numb forearms and the endless fiddling around.
MINI BATTEN
These prevent unwanted leech flutter. Short and highly effective mini-battens which provide support for the areas between the battens and prevent undesirable flutter.
VTS - Visual Trim System
Perfect trim and a huge range of use. You won’t find a quicker or more accurate way of trimming your sail.
TT TOP
Improved sail control at higher winds. Designer Kai Hopf originally designed the TT TOP for the WARP.
3D Top Cap
Optimised pull. On regular top caps and pin systems the webbing is connected in a “one-dimensional” way with the sail body (either side to side or front to back), which transfers the downhaul tension only in certain points.
POLYESTER WEBBING ONLY
Eliminating stretch and loss of tension. If it’s good enough for safety harnesses, it’s good enough for windsurfers.

ATTENTION: since the mast geometry and length (= stiffness) depend on the sail design, size and luff curve the sails will NOT work with any masts outside the recommendations.
