Warp is performance sail designed for race, slalom and freeride. It is the most successful slalom sail in PWA history. It provides early planning, outstanding, smooth acceleration without physical input and great, soft camber rotation. The new design provides 30% more acceleration after start and jibes, which boosts the performance. Recommended for intermediate and advanced riders directed for racing, slalom and performance. It features deep profile, 7 batten construction with 4 cams. Designed for best performance with SDM masts. This sail is fast, agile and easy to handle even for a little bit less experienced rider. Features different, size-depended concepts which means that each sail is individually matched to wind strength. Sail offers maximum stability, maximum wind range and big v-max.

Technologies

• ULTRA FILM
  To save as much weight as possible, we now use ULTRA.FILM which is just 4mil thick for the super lightweight IDOL_LTD as well as the WARP F2015. This extreme monofilm is used throughout the body panel and contributes significantly to the low overall weight thanks to its reduced thickness.
• TWIN TRIM CLEW
  The secret of the TWIN.TRIM.CLEW are the 2 horizontally placed clew eyelets. The outer clew position provides more power and a more direct feeling, while the inner position gives more control and a softer sensation.
• PROGRESSIVE CUTAWAY CLEW incl. CROSS BATTEN
  The CROSS.BATTEN concept is the intelligent solution that shifts the sail’s center of effort downwards and supports the larger surface area in the boom zone. It also allows for an early planing profile without losing handling. Ideal in combination with the PROGRESSIVE.CUTAWAY.CLEW which has an extremely positive influence on the sails agility, feel and allows a shorter, stiffer boom. Both features individually vary depending on the type and size of the sail.
  That is, the more pronounced the CUTAWAY thus the longer the CROSS.BATTEN, the more flex and comfort, especially when overpowered ("excess" sail area "flexes away"). The more performance-oriented the sail, the less pronounced the CUTAWAY.CLEW and the CROSS.BATTEN are to ensure a more direct acceleration.
• HYPER CAM
  The ultimate in smooth sailing with unequalled advantages.
  Advantage 1: Super-fast rigging. (Sliding-up instead of snapping-on the mast.) No need for repeat adjustments to luff- and outhaul tension.
  Advantage 2: Minimum friction means soft rotation, since the HYPER.CAM features free rollers without plastic buckles, so that only the rollers touch the mast.
  Advantage 3: Optimized shape for the best possible mast pocket profile and ideal aerodynamics
  Advantage 4: Fits all mast diameters, since only the rollers but never the plastic body touch the surface, which also makes the HYPER.CAM extremely easy to rotate.
• INDIVIDUAL BOOM LENGTH INDICATION
  Since the boom is positioned at different points on the mast depending on the rider‘s height, the ideal boom length varies due to the different angles. To make it easier to find the right length fast, the individual recommendations are written directly on the luff panel at boom level.
• DOUBLE SEAM TECHNOLOGY
  NorthSails stands for unsurpassed quality that guarantees a longer life for our sails. The triple zig-zag seams significantly contribute to this. And they don‘t come, as usual, in a single, but in a double version! They cover all exposed crash areas that would otherwise be damaged. The result is higher resistance to tear and a reduction of stretch by up to 50% as a result of the second seam, also benefiting profile stability and performance.
• HARNESSLINE TRIM SYSTEM (HTS)
  Forget the time-consuming search for the ideal harness line position, the numb forearms, and the endless fiddling around! The patented print on the sail shows exactly where the center of the harness line has to be. Just position the two ends symmetrically at the left and right of the print, that‘s all.

Features

• No Compromise Design - Guarantees an ideal mix of maximum power and forward pull without losing stability/wind-range or becoming super physical
• Size Specific Design - Thanks to three different, size-dependent concepts each sail size is individually matched to the wind strength
• 7 Batten Design - Makes the WARP F2017 the lightest Slalom sail on the market
• Less weight due to Mini Protector - super light iROCKET batten tensioner
• Moderate Cutaway Clew - Less blow out / hinge-effect for more power and more direct acceleration
• Hyper Cam - Again and again confirmed through magazine tests worldwide: The best rotating camber on the market
