AWARD WINNING BOAT THAT’S TWICE THE FUN Airborne foiling or sailing with a daggerboard. Foiling is a sport that is here to stay. Foiling has been around for years but until now it helped to be an expert sailor and not too large if you wanted to succeed. The Flying Mantis is designed to be sailed with a conventional daggerboard that can be swapped for a central T-foil, to go foiling. Why not progress from one to the other? The central hull weighs around 25kg plus removable outriggers at 12.5kg each. The Flying Mantis is designed to be rigged quickly. The outriggers can be fitted or derigged without taking down the mast. The boat can be towed behind a car with the hulls still assembled. It doesn’t need to live in a dinghy park, which makes it easier to sail somewhere different each day. The central hull weighs around 25kg plus removable outriggers at 12.5kg each.

AIRBORNE FOILING Everything from the daggerboard sailing (DBS) version but with replacement central and rudder T-foils and a foiling system that connects a control wand at the front of the bowsprit. THE HULLS The 3 hulls are quick and easy to assemble, and are extremely light so less power is needed to drive the Flying Mantis forward. A relatively flat underside minimises time in the water, generating hydrodynamic lift. The U-shaped hull maximises displacement as the boat drops off the foils.
