Dragons on the road to success
Modified hull, stiffer construction, more ergonomic cockpit design: PCT from Dubai has fundamentally revised the kite
Within the framework of the rules, which allow for some tolerances, the team of designers, hydrodynamics specialists and kite sailors Markus Wieser and Hendrik Witzmann found solutions that should have optimised the boat as a whole. The first prototypes were further developed in extensive tests in the Emirate and then shipped to Europe. The new kites from Premier Composite Technologies have been quite successful so far, winning every Grade 1 event they have taken part in. Witzmann won the Juan Carlos Trophy ( Results ) ahead of the kite stronghold of Cascais and ahead of Markus Wieser in the Grand Prix Guyader ( Results ) off Douarnenez in France.
