Foiling World started gathering experience about dinghy foiling 10 years ago when Alan started teaching foiling on International Moths. It soon became apparent that Moths were not the best place to start your foiling journey! Out of this teaching experience came the design of the F101. A few design features determined the specification: Length to stop the platform capsizing Width to give you easy righting moment Ease of sailing with more time foiling than capsizing in the early stages Access to the water with a launching trolley and conventional rig The detail All carbon construction: main hull, foils, floats, beams, 2 piece mast.

Target boat speed range: 10-25 kts.
