Formula, There will be a brand new OZ webshop online really soon ( in fact I thought it was happening last night) It will have all the details on how you can order the sails and all the contact details if you wish to chat to somebody prior to placing an order and any local delears .

2012 Koncept

Jesper is the best person to explain the technical details of the changes that have been made.
In essence the sail has been given a more compact outline, shorter in the luff and longer in the boom. Refinements to the shaping and twist have occured as well.
Why?
The Koncept has it,s origins as a speed sail, AMAC originally designed if for Speed sailing at Sandy Point. As a consequence it is extremely fast deep downwind but the Team felt that its "all round" capabilities could be improved, mainly it,s upwind performance. The changes that have been made are squarely aimed at acheiving this.
So, no the previous Koncepts are not inferior as is evident by the results the sail has acheived. They do what they were designed to do more than admirably. For 2012 it was a case of changing the design parmeters for the sail slightly.
I am sure jesper would be happy to go into the "knitty gritty,s" if you wish.
