    What's the best versatile foiler?

    Yes. I think it's designed at -3 to +3 so when diff is applied when rudder rake is at 0 you get full 6 degrees of diff.

    What's the best versatile foiler?

    We haven't sailed our boat solo but the Goodall dealer in Aus sails his on many occasions solo and has no real issues. I would be hesitant for non sailors to foil without experience as it can be a real handful. You can put the straight boards in and still have the best sailing experience as it...

    What's the best versatile foiler?

    The package from Goodall comes with everything to sail the boat in both configurations. And with the 2 x centreboard cases there is no compromise of where the foils are located on the hull. It truly is a no compromise boat that is competitive in both fleets. F16 and foiling.

    What's the best versatile foiler?

    We have the convertible Viper. We believe it is truly the most versatile boat on the market currently. We just had the International F16(straight boards) Australian Championships where our boat with my 2 sons came 2nd. We then converted boat back to foiling and have close racing with the...

    Nacra 15 FCS for fun

    Similar, as Beaus was the prototype and ours was the production version. Very different to 17 system as that is a radial setup and the Goodall is linear. There is huge reduction with many pulleys etc in rear beam.

    Nacra 15 FCS for fun

    We had a C board 15 so cannot comment on difference to 15FCS as they were racing that as there are no 15fcs racing in Aus. There are 2 x 15s with fcs kits on them down here but not racing. The boys say that the Viper settles down a lot when diff is applied and really gets speed up and able to...

    Nacra 15 FCS for fun

    Yes I'll get on it soon. Once the water warms up a bit down here. The high tack jib is getting modified and attached to the pole. That's one thing we did not like when got boat but it's easily modified and the good thing with F16 class rules it's legal to change it. Rudder stocks and boxes...

    Nacra 15 FCS for fun

    I know it's not a Nacra 15 FCS but we went for the Foiling Viper Convertible for our 2 x sons after campaigning a Nacra 15 and wanting to go into the F16 fleet. The Viper was the obvious choice as we have best of both worlds. The Foiling Viper foils well to windward and with the rudder rake...
