New foiling dinghy: The Ifly
Sent by Devic Hervé — “Our company has developed a Flying dinghy called “Ifly” .
The all project came from an idea of Sebastien Col (one of the most successful french sailor)
The Ifly has been designed during summer and Autumn 2014 by what I will call the Ifly design team:
– Sam Manuard (naval designer),
– Dimitri Despierres (Naval engineer, under contract with Oracle team),
– Sebastien col (as manager )
– Hervé Devic (boat builder, manager of Tocatec ) .
In January 2016 the first “Ifly” was launched . With the fine tune of Sebastien Col the” Ifly ” shows a very good stable flight .
The original idea was to provide a new flying dinghy to young sailors (the actual choice is: Laser, 420, 29er !!!!!) Then we enlarge the specs to 80 kg .
We are still in development , but we should be ready to deliver the first “Ifly” by the end of September 2016
you can see the “Ifly” on facebook : facebook.com/Ifly.eu/?ref=ts&fref=ts
