the prototype is small and extremely light (90kg) until now, tests have been conducted in Leucate, once of the best spot in the world (the wind blows 200 days a year, at least and in the good direction to not create any wave.) performances : It works ! Trials permited to reach the planing mode on foils, at more than 25 knts. what’s wrong : Budget problem of course ! Developpement calls for trials, tests, hence financial resources (time, time worker, logistic ...). a new technical partner : Nautix, a second mast has been custom made (tests pending). work plan to reach the goal - developpement of a new self regulated foil system - new float and foil securing mechanisum - improve craft’s reliability (beyond 30 knts, anything can happen) - save weight to improve low wind flying capability - sail design improvement (with Alain Daoulas / Ecole Navale) - testing new foils designs (IRENAV)
The association is developping,
since 4 years,
a speed sailing boat
running after
the absolut record,
which is 48,70 nds.
