GENESIS
AFTER DEVELOPING THE "Onefly," WE STARTED FROM A BLANK SLATE. THE SIDE FOILS QUICKLY BECAME A CLEAR CHOICE FOR SIMPLIFICATION. THEY ALSO ALLOW FOR AN INCREASE IN RIGHTING MOMENT WITHOUT THE NEED FOR HIKING BOARDS. THESE RETRACTABLE FOILS, MADE OF ALUMINIUM TO REDUCE PRODUCTION COSTS, CONSIST OF A SHAFT WITH A SYMmETRICAL PROFILE, ENDURING GOOD UPWIND PERFORMANCE AND ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR AN ADDITIONAL CENTERBOARD. AS FOR THE FOIL TIP, ITS ASYMMETRICAL PROFILE AIDS IN TAKEOFF AT AROUND 6.5 KNOTS OF SPEED. IN THERMS OF THE HULL DESIGN, SPECIAL EFFORT HAS BEEN MADE TO OPTIMIZE AERODYNAMIC DRAG, WITH A CURVED DECK THAT ALLOWS FOR A COMFORTABLE HIKING POSITION.
