Earlier today two teams from the University of NSW presented results of an inquiry into theoretical hydrofoil stability and performance. The teams undertook to assess three candidate foil types on an A Class catamaran and investigate relative characteristics of lift, drag and change in lift with ride height/leeway. A more detailed report is being prepared,...Read More

Our Paradox Version 3 A Class cat platform design is complete and tooling is underway. The foil housing arrangement in the new boat is designed to accommodate virtually any shape with full interchangeability of parts using a new version of our proven system of hull and deck bearings. Now focus is on foil design. The...Read More

Here is the first production item emerging from our development work in collaboration with Moth guru Scott Babbage. Billet machined bellcrank now available from http://www.sailingbits.com/ The brief was to develop control system components that minimised play (manifested as slop/bumps in the foiling ride) while maintaining full adjustability. More bits are under development and will be available...Read More

Here is an extended mix showing some early runs with experimental control system foil configurations. Though there is still vast untapped potential, these sequences give a flavour of what is surely to come. Everyone who tried it commented, through a persistent grin, that it is easy and feels secure.As often repeated on this site, the...Read More
