Our Boat ⛵️

As presented on the previous page, foils perform two main functions (lift and counter-heel). Our goal is to remove from the water all the functions that can be removed.

1. Lift through ground effect​

The fins and long arms generate lift (like the wings of an airplane), thanks to the ground effect, thus limiting friction.

2. Anti-Heeling with opposing double sails​

The double sails, by their orientations, generate opposing forces which stabilize the boat by keeping it straight.

3. Anti-Drift Plan combined with the rudder​

The daggerboard cannot be replaced, so we keep it. This daggerboard also functions as a rudder, thanks to its forward/backward movement.

By combining these innovations, the sailboat is optimized to achieve record speeds while minimizing the limitations related to submerged elements.
