Today we are revealing the first foiling dinghy born from the world of the America’s Cup and a one-design that removes all barriers to foiling.
It offers ease of use for all sailors, all around performance and early take off, bringing the focus back to sailing and the pleasure of going fast.
Our electric foils simplify foiling and at an affordable price, with an autonomy of 4 hours.
By continuously measuring the boat’s movements and scanning the waves, the electric foils simplify take off, improve equilibrium, and enable faster foiling.
The modern hull shape provides stability during take off and performance when foiling. All sailors will quickly find how to make the best use of the deck layout too.
A new benchmark in foiling, with the speed of T foils, and 4 sail areas for sailors from 40 to 95 kilos.
The Airborn Foiler continues to push what a foiling dinghy is for this next decade and allows everyone with a sailing background to jump on board and foil, fast.
The sculpted exterior design, and the construction with today’s finest materials adds to the pleasure for serious racing and daily use.

FOR A SMOOTH RIDE
A NEW BENCHMARK FOR SPEED AND EASE OF FOILING
Long foils lift easily in light winds, letting you foil more often and in more spots..
The Airborn features the best type of foils: T-foils that remain underwater at all times, for the true sensations of foiling.
Engineered to be long – thanks to carbon fibre – these foils facilitate take off in light airs so you can enjoy sailing more often in more places.
Foiling starts in winds as low as 8 kts.
The foils are controlled electrically to ensure optimum speed and equilibrium in all phases of sailing from take off, to straight line and manoeuvering.
Foiling is simpler, with almost immediate foiling for most sailors.
Long foils lift easily in light winds, letting you foil more often and in more spots..
Modern hull shape: the flared hull provides good and comfortable hiking position with reduced contact between the hull and the water for more speed.
YOU CAN JUMP ON BOARD
FOR ALL THOSE WHO LOVE SAILING
Modern hull shape: the flared hull provides good and comfortable hiking position with reduced contact between the hull and the water for more speed.
The modern hull shape provides stability during take off and allows you to enjoy sailing also when the winds are too low for foiling.
The design of the cockpit has been studied for comfort for both young children and adults when hiking.
The Airborn Foiler allows everyone with a sailing background to foil, go fast and share the passion for speed and the joys of freedom.
READY IN NO TIME, ANYTIME
IT’S FOR MODERN LIFE
Open cockpit layout featuring just four cleats for vang, cunningham, foil up, and foil down. Also visible are the hiking strap, non-slip surface, tiller extension, battery compartment, and on/off button of the foils.
Keep your foiler rigged on your favourite spot, or rig it in minutes with the simple mast step and hoist the sail like a normal boat.
Keeping a boat simple has always been a recipe for success and pleasure.
The Airborn Foiler includes an aluminium trolley that we have designed carefully to support the hull and protect the foils during launch and recovery.
In addition, a simple rope system allows both foils to be raised and lowered to facilitate manoeuvres going out and back.

ELECTRIC FOILS
IT’LL BE HARD TO GIVE IT UP
Forget the flimsy wands at the bow or the draggy V foils.
With the ever growing use of movement sensors – for instance now in all smartphones – computers can trim the foils for us, it’s simpler and faster.
By measuring all boats movements and scanning the waves, foiling is improved in many situations:
– more stable take off : excessive nose up or down is controlled at all time
– improved straight line speed: more control means smaller foils which translates into lower drag
– smoother manoeuvers: detection of changes of speed and adjustment of foils as soon as they happen
– improved safety: detection and control of ‘off limit’ situations
– more precise: symmetrical performance, measurement of ride height that includes influence of pitch and heel angle
– more robust: no external moving and fragile pieces during launch and recovery
The system comes with 4 hours autonomy, is self contained, and watertight to IP68.
More speed, faster progress and safer. There is no way back.
