Super Tag mit gutem Wind.
Am ende des Films noch zu zweit mit meiner Tochter.

active pitch control on the hydrofoils would make an epic Arduino project, gorgeous boat all the same 🥵

Yeeehaww... right up until one hits something under the surface, then it’s YeeeHawww from the company when it sells you a whole new boat! 😲😉. Still, it’s a stunningly beautiful design and one that seems to work well!

[@iFLY-foiling]

this is another important differentiator about iFLY. The design anticipates this kind of incidents and keeps the damage after hitting an object or ground to a minimum. Our structural engineer achieved this by crash boxes behind the NC milled lower daggerboard bearings. In the case of a major accident, the daggerboards can be displaced by up to 15cm backwards. The energy is absorbed by the crash box. The hull is not damaged. iFLY daggerboards and foils are full carbon with titanium core structure. After a big crash, due to the crash box and the advanced quality of the foils, there will be not much more than minor esthetic damage on the trailing edge, that can be easily repaired within 1h. The lower bearing can be replaced within 10 minutes by opening 4 screws. We had one major accident with two sailors flying full speed on a sandbar in Key Biscayne, Florida. They went on flying after pulling the iFLY back in deeper water and kicking back the daggerboards in place. In the evening, all together it was a 3h repair to have all set for the next crash.

@Paul Binder My german is non-existent, but I have recently purchased a boat similar to the iFly15 (it sails very well without a sailor onboard) and was wondering where you bought your retractable tether line.

[@paulbinder1]

it is a dog leash which i mounted under the trampolin.

Supercool!

[@bobanppvc]

what about automatic foil system fly safe?How does it help,you fliped it many times?

[@iFLY-foiling]

the FlySafe is there to support the sailor for stable flight, it is not there to make it a child's play. Foiling the iFLY is for sportive sailors who are ambitious to reach high speeds. In the case of iFLY, advanced engineering makes it accessible, but still, it is a racing machine, that will capsize, if you do a significant sailing mistake. By experience we know, that without flight control, foiling is too challenging for most sailors. Some people might enjoy looking at all those crashes shown in videos, but you don't want to be in that situation yourself. Loosing control does not feel nice. We prefer fast and sovereign foiling. :-) :-) :-)

you so lucky

Zurich lake has rarely any wind - do you get to navigate often enough?

[@paulbinder1]

it is a prolbem too much or too less wind and often only for 2 hours... But I live by the lake and see when the wind is coming. Its ok like that, i have to take what i get;)

Hast du ein paar Infos zu der Sicherungsleine? Wo ist di fest? Wie rollt die sich auf?

[@iFLY-foiling]

Selbst aufrollende Hundeleine für schwere Hunde, idealerweise mit Gurtband anstatt mit Leine. Idealerweise durch die Kausch in der Mitte des Trampolins nach unten führen, zwischen die beiden Lagen des Flügel-Trampolins. Den Abroller am Achterbeam befestigen. Eine solche Lash-line kann schon sinnvoll sein, wenn man die Grenzen austestet und alleine auf dem Wasser ist.

iFLY15 Foiling Catamaran perfekt, tausend Dank! Ich fahre oft alleine, auch in Griechenland und da ist es schon mal etwas besser sowas zu haben!
