Looking good Vando. Out of interest to eliminate that slight luff crease at the base of the 7.0 will you add a few spacers? The 8.6 looks like it needs nothing but wind. Are the luffs deeper too or am I imagining it?
Looking forward to a review in comparison to the 2011 models.
nice Choc hopeful you get to try yours soon.
got out on the 8.6 today not much wind, seem to have good bottom end.
Rot was nice even on the SDM.
Great pics Vando. The new wavescape looks interesting too. I'm guessing these work well on rdm's also.
Rigged my new 6.3 and the old 7m racing blade on the 430 powerex rdm 85%
Here are some comparison photos.
Main differences are a bit less luff curve, slightly less area in the head, tougher material in the luff panel (only area where there has been wear in the 2011). Better tack strap.
Rotation still as easy.
Then rigged the 7m on a 460 powerex 100% rdm (4cm over length) and it gave the sail a more forward draught (had to move harness lines forward) and a more grunty, locked in feel.
Nice one Lao I haven't tried my 6.3 yet it was my favorite sail in the 2011 range.
I loving the new 7
Are you using the top or bottom eylet
Haven't used the 6.3 yet.
With the 2011 7m I use the top eyelet in marginal winds but always the bottom one for speed.
What a fantastic way to Christen a sail!!!!
Thanks to Col of www.windsurfaustralia.com/ for an amazing experience.
The 6.3 was almost as powerful as the 7 which I tried first run but with great stability and plenty of speed. 31knot display and 30knt 10 sec open ocean without really trying.
Woohoo!
Tried out Lao's new 6.3 today at Safety Bay in 20-23kts with gust's to 26. The sail immeadiatley felt more controllable than the 2011 Koncept 6.4, I was using today. Power delivery was smooth and locked in and the rotation on the skinny was awsome. This is to easy I thought ! Build quality looks good.
Didnt want to try and push the limits on Lao's new pride and joy and risk damaging it. Hard to give it back to him though.
Anyone want to buy a Koncept
