Duotone S_Pace Sail 2023
THE HIGHLY SPORTY, COMPETITIVE SLALOM SAIL WITH UNBELIEVABLE FORWARD PULL - THE S_PACE CRAVES FOR SPEED AND YET IS EASY TO HANDLE. It carries the racing genes of the WARP for unrestricted power delivery, but at the same time, the handling is extraordinarily simple for this class.
Overview
The Duotone S_Pace Sail 2023 is based on the revolutionary 3 IN 1 DESIGN that Kai has developed over three years, allowing an unprecedented trim range. Together with the brand-new HYPER CAM 2.0, it offers a tremendously wide range of use. Adjusting the S_PACE trim for low- or high-end conditions fundamentally changes the sail, achieving maximum performance across all wind conditions.

Performance
The new S_PACE featuring the 3 IN 1 DESIGN is the perfect symbiosis of our most successful race slalom and freeride sails. Whether it's V-Max, maximum acceleration, or used as a sporty foil engine, the S_PACE is the most versatile cam sail on the market. Designer Kai Hopf combines the top performance of the WARP with a very balanced sailing behavior and a much wider range of use.
This is achieved through a greatly reduced and almost straight luff curve in the upper area. Changes in luffing tension have a large effect on the leech, providing an incredibly wide wind range. On MIN setting with tight leech, it’s super effective to pump, accelerates very efficiently, and feels incredibly light - ideal also for foiling. On MAX trim, however, the S_PACE feels similar to the WARP, constantly getting faster without limits.
The three new, length-adjustable HYPER CAMS 2.0 ensure unique draft and profile stability yet smooth rotation. The highly tapered luff sleeve in the AERO SLEEVE DESIGN 2.0 optimizes the transition from the thick mast leading edge to the thin sail body while remaining narrow at the top for fast water starts.
