Chris Lockwood hitting 50.09 knots 2-second peak on a KA Koncept at Sandy Point, Australia. Watch him accelerate as he sheets in just past the cameraman - this is QUICK!
Demonstration of the ease with which the KA Koncept cambers rotate. Each time I flip the sail, I use progressively less force to pop the cambers into place, yet the cams rotate as if by themselves, almost effortlessly, in spite of the very light breeze. All I hear, apart from the sail billowing out, is a few faint clicks as they lock into place.

Lowering the bow reduces tail drag because the stern displaces less water. Result: more speed.
This is about as flat as it gets, courtesy of mastfoot pressure.
I've taken some up-close shots of the Koyote, because it's pretty much the only way to show the quality and detailing of the sail. Notice the various reinforcements and strategically positioned padded sections.

This visual clearly shows the smoothness of the draft, and in particular the way the draft transitions into the main sail body. There is no looseness of material, disruptive folds or pockets of idle air, allowing the wind to flow freely into the draft and along the sail without any turbulence.
