BirdyFish

OverviewConfigurationSpecifications

Birdyfish

Based on observing larger higher performance race boats, the goal was to create a stable, safe, foiling dinghy with good acceleration and speed that is  accessible to the average sailor.  This has been more than achieved with the Birdyfish.  

The self-regulating J-foils which, in addition to making the boat fly, also contribute to the righting. The physical dimension of the crew does not become a condition for taking off. 80 boats sold to date, maximum speed to date is 25.1 Kts.  Join the foiling generation on the Birdyfish.

Fun Version

Birdyfish is a concentration of technology from racing and Sail GP. A sum of details that together make this boat an easy, fast and stable foiler for all skill levels.

The self-regulating J-foils which, in addition to making the boat fly, also contribute to the righting. The physical dimension of the crew does not become a condition for taking off.

This version is distinguished by its set of sails.

– Dacron mainsail with two reefing points

– Dacron jib on a furler

– Nylon Code 0 

Race Version

We dreamed of the “Sail gp” or “America’s Cup” races, Birdyfish had to race.

To stay within our concept of ease, we wanted to make the right modifications to get the most out of the boat.

– A set of Mylar sails, Gv, jib, and code 0, giving amplitude and precision of adjustment.

– Additional hardware (modification of the furling system, Cunningham and a code 0 halyard tensioner) give you more adjustment

So you can go from the fun version to the race version in the blink of an eye.
