The Foiling Dinghy does what it says on the label

New to the UK . . . The Foiling Dinghy does what it says on the label.

Designed by Advanced Sailing Technologies (AST) to be an easy to foil sailing dinghy, purpose built to foil with a dual foil system.

Complexity is reduced to a minimum since the foils are self-adjusting and self-tacking. Also the boat is very forgiving and easy to launch.

It’s also claimed to be affordable, lightweight and easy to transport, launch and handle on land.

This German built dinghy will be launched in the UK at the 2020 RYA Dinghy Show (29 February – 01 March, Alexandra Palace) on the AST stand (D20).
