First play on the 7.9 Karace
What a beast of a sail !!!
OK , First its not green but its sooooo stable, rotates like a wave sail and its fast.
I bought Koncepts in 5.0 ,5.8 and 6.6 and the 7.9 race to replace the Koncepts 7.5 ,8.5. It will be interesting to see what wind the race can handle as the cross over point will be around 22-25kts for me to jump to the 6.6
First rig up on Daffys lawn was easy EXcept its a two person job to get the plug into the mast first time, so be warned. After it gets settled all it good. No other issues and just a slight twist of two battens it was ready to go.
The wind was 8-15 WWS and after a few run down the speed course I headed to Sandy Point B where I hoped the wind angle would be better. It was, and a little stronger. Played there for a good half Hr untill 2 kites and their jet ski joined me. No issues and warned them about the VERY strong out going tide and dropping wind. All escaped unharmed and they took a lift back upwind under jetski power. Soft.
Monday has more wind coming and should test the upper range of this sail and i'm excited
Sl66, Karace 7.9, Venom 40
