First Ever Performance-Based Sail Guarantee
KiteShip.Com, sailing innovators and makers of OutLeader� spinnaker
replacement kites today announces the industry's first money-back
performance-based guarantee for its free-flying sailing kites.
"If, after 15 hours flying time, your boat is not faster than an
identical boat, with the same size spinnaker, in the same conditions
(minimum average wind speed 10 knots), we will cheerfully buy back
your kite. We reserve only the right to be aboard during the test,"
says Dave Culp, President of KiteShip.Com.
This is the first time in the sailing industry's history that a
manufacturer has offered an across-the-board money-back guarantee
based on a product's competitive performance. "Ours is a new concept,
and although flying these kites is straightforward and FAST, we feel
that our prospective customers deserve a level of reassurance that
their hard-earned money is well spent," offers Culp. "Our standard
two-year warranty against defects in materials/workmanship
remains in place throughout."
OutLeader� spinnaker replacement kites are designed to replace and to
outperform both symmetrical and asymmetrical spinnakers aboard the
great majority of racing and voyaging sailing yachts. OutLeaders�
utilize stronger, smother winds aloft to make them more powerful than
conventional spinnakers of equal size. The kites were initially
designed to be rule-legal off-wind sails in the America's Cup, and
measure-in as legal asymmetrical spinnakers, per the International
Sailing Federation's (ISAF) Equipment Rules of Sailing.
Due to their unique design, these kites are flown from the deck, not
from the mast. OutLeader kite-powered boats are less prone to
spinnaker broaches, bow burying and high speed control issues, as
well as less prone to catastrophic dismastings. A number of
offshore-capable yachts are already carrying OutLeader kites for
their "get home" capability in the event of rig failure.

Francisco, Florida, the UK and Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
