They didn’t think it was possible, so we did it.
BirdyFish was created with the aim of democratising the practice of foil dinghies, to enable all enthusiasts to explore the sensations of flying on the water.
Today, BirdyFish is the first and only 2-in-1 double foil dinghy capable of meeting several of your needs: learning to foil in a dinghy and looking for performance in a regatta.
Racing technology for learning
1- Stability
The two J-shaped foils and T-shaped rudder provide great stability, allowing you to fly safely and concentrate fully on the sensations of the flight. The scow hull gives you the power to take off quickly and land smoothly.
2- Simplified manoeuvring
Les voiles, la barre et la position de l’équipage sont les seuls réglages nécessaires en navigation sur le BirdyFish. Le poids de l’équipage permet de réguler l’assiette, faciliter le décollage ou d’accélérer. Les foils quant à eux facilitent le couple de redressement du bateau. Il ne vous est pas nécessaire d’effectuer un rappel dans les sangles fort pour faire décoller le bateau. Rester assis sur le caisson, confortable, vous permet de vous concentrer sur la barre et les voiles.
3- Take-off from 8 knots
The build-up of power in the BirdyFish is gradual. You can take off from 8-10 knots, to get to grips with your first low-speed flights, before accelerating to discover the sensations of full-power flight.
Challenge yourself alongside 15 BirdyFish
Si le BirdyFish est un excellent support d’apprentissage, une fois les bases maîtrisées, il révèle tout son potentiel de performance pour régater. C’est l’occasion de se confronter en compétition avec un voilier monotype, avec les mêmes armes. Grâce à sa simplicité, concentrez-vous pleinement sur le jeu de la vitesse et de la régate.
1- Vitesse exceptionnelle
For example, the BirdyFish has a speed record of 27 knots
2 – Adaptability to conditions
The BirdyFish is capable of adapting to a wide range of sea and wind conditions. In plenty of wind, its flying performance is enhanced by the presence of Ris on the mainsail and jib. When the wind isn’t there, she’s perfectly capable of racing in classic dinghy mode, even if the gennaker allows her to take off at 8 knots.
If you prefer a flat boat to reach the highest speeds, the Birdyfish handles very well in swell and reasonable waves.
3 – Agility and responsiveness
This year, we set up our first circuit of 4 regattas: the BirdyFish Vaikobi Trophy. By taking part, you’ll be able to share some sporting and friendly moments with other BirdyFish owners. The Grand Prix de l’Armistice from 1 to 3 November is the last regatta on the circuit, so contact us if you’d like to take part!
A scalable and versatile foiling dinghy
What really makes the BirdyFish a ‘2 in 1’ foiling dinghy is its ability to evolve with your level.
A beginner can be introduced to the sensations of foiling in complete safety, while an experienced sailor can look for much more performance, speeds unattainable on a classic dinghy and one-design racing that is anything but ordinary. des vitesses inatteignables sur un dériveur classique et des régates en monotypie tout sauf ordinaires.
This versatility means the BirdyFish can help you achieve your goals and offer you the best of both worlds, making foiling accessible and exhilaratin
