BirdyFish

A sailing dinghy that can fly/foil, for two to three people.

The BirdyFish is the perfect sailing dinghy to experience sailing in a new way. Thanks to the buoyancy of two L-foils together with a rudder with winglets, the BirdyFish starts to fly when planing, with the hull lifting approx. 40 cm out of the water. As the water resistance on the hull decreases, the speed increases continuously and speeds previously unimaginable with sailing dinghies are achieved - not to mention the enormous acceleration.

WHEN FLYING BECOMES ACCESSIBLE TO ALL

Until now, foiling with sailing boats was mainly reserved for professionals. There were almost no foiling sailing dinghies on which dedicated sailors, i.e. non-professionals, could try their hand at foiling without too much risk. The BirdyFish concept aims to fill precisely this vacuum and make foiling possible for foil beginners too. The design aim of the BirdyFish was to create a safe monohull platform that flies stably with self-regulating altitude and impresses with fascinating acceleration and unusually high speeds for a monohull sailing dinghy.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

As a VDWS instructor, Paul Funke trains prospective sailing instructors on dinghies and catamarans. He runs the sailing department at the Rügen Piraten water sports school in Dranske.
