Update

A couple of images from a busy shop. Our new website is nearing completion so more detailed info will be available soon – on our UAV work especially, as well as the ongoing foiling sailboat projects.

Limiting

Ongoing testing with different foil configurations is confirming that ultimately righting moment will determine top speed. The diagram below nicely illustrates what happens as speed builds. The plot takes a constant true wind angle (heading relative to true wind direction). As boatspeed increases, the component of apparent wind from dead-ahead gets bigger, while the true […]

Congratulations to Marvin Baumeister for winning the Foiling Week regatta for kiteboards. He used (for the first time) an all-new foil package (vertical, fuselage, and horizontals) created with project and design co-ordination by Carbonix. CFD and optimisation was by d3 Applied Technologies. Tooling design by Carbonix…

Critical Mass

Interest in our L foil kits has been overwhelming. We are at full capacity fulfilling orders and have additional tooling in the pipeline to shorten lead times. Will be sure to publish more images and detailed specs as soon as we get a chance.   Market demand speaks clearly and people are ‘voting with their […]
