The idea was to create a SIT & FLY foiler, that is to say a boat with foils that practically flew alone, and endow it with an exceptional stability so that any sailor could fly easily, regardless of their physical or technical preparation, also allowing them to access into the competition with foils so far suitable for only a few specialists.
The mothquito foiling catamaran perfectly meets this objective. proof of this is that none of our riders had ever flown on a boat with foils before and as you will see in the videos they all fly without any difficulty. , i sincerely believe that it is the best guarantee that the mothquito is made for you., you will soon be able to try it for yourself. happy flight.
Designer and CEO:
IFS Foiling & MOTHQUITO
THE BOAT THAT FLIES ALONE
The Mothquito Foiling Catamaran is the first foiler in the world with an increased dynamic stability and performance, by the IFS system, a system that increases its dynamic length and beam to make foiling easy, safe and fun for any sailor.
Due to this system, the Mothquito surprises with its great stability, both at take-off and during flight, requiring the crew member simply the same physical effort that would be required to sail in any conventional dinghy boat without trapeze and without the need for a special technique.
In the Mothquito you just have to sit down to sail and the boat will practically will flies alone.
For all these reasons, the Mothquito is an easy and suitable foiler for all types of sailors, a true SIT & FLY.
At the same time, it can be a fundamental tool for schools and training centers, which are increasingly in demand for easy-to-fly, stable, yet fast and fun foilers.
But make no mistake, the Mothquito is more than just a docile and stable foiler. The Mothquito is a high performance catamaran racer. With a dynamic beam in flight of 4.8 m2, this boat manages to significantly increase its righting moment, which allows it to have a sail area of 17.5 m2 in its basic configuration, to launch the boat at high speeds without heeling or feeling of risk.
With mothquito you don`t need:.
Previous experience.
Specific technical training.
Special physical preparation.
Navigate against heeling as in the Moth.
Hang on a trapeze compromising your safety.
Height sensors and flaps to regulate the flight height, since its V foils automatically regulate the height.
Increasing the dynamic length:
You increase longitudinal stability, improving dynamic longitudinal trim in flight and reducing the risk of nose dive and pitch poles., increasing the dynamic beam:, increased transverse stability is achieved, increasing righting moment and performance, with a significant reduction in heeling., that is why mothquito marks a before and after, a new concept in the world of foiling which is summarized in a single expression:, sit & fly.
With Mothquito you know how.
BACKGROUNDS
As foiling progresses, more and more fans and sailors want to experience the sensation of flying, even if only once.
But the reality is that many of them are in doubt as to whether they will be able to fly continuously and controlled, since flying these machines does not seem as easy as sitting down.
In many cases, it requires significant physical preparation and endurance to be able to keep the balance in flight based on counter-heeling, making counter balance and playing with the mainsail sheet hunting and molding to maintain balance and not repeatedly go overboard.
In other cases, as in the majority of catamarans, it will be necessary to hang on the trapezoid to reduce the heeling, and at high speeds the maneuvers are very fast and precise, so the risk in these circumstances does not It exactly coincides with the idea of enjoy it.
In summary we can group the current foilers into 3 large groups:
They are small foilers, monohull or multihull, for a single handed and they have a central inverted T-foil and another inverted T-foil in rudder on the same line. When they are monohull, flying on these boats without falling into the water is not easy. You have to establish a continuous balance by flying against heeling and keep your balance playing with the main sheet, and your weight.
In the case of multihulls, the outer hulls act as a float to stop preventing the overturns, as the small lateral wheels do on a bicycle when the child learns. but this solution does not eliminate the difficulty of the flight and slows down the speed of the boat every time the float enters into the water. they also use flaps with mechanical height sensors to control the flight height, and therefore require care and maintenance., they are dinghy catamarans for single or double handed and have four inverted t-foils., with a dynamic beam of around 2.5 m, which usually coincides with their hull beam, these foilers are much more stable than the 2t foils, but in them the use of trapezoids is usually common to compensate the heeling, which not everyone likes and less at high speeds., they also use flaps with mechanical height sensors to control the flight height, and therefore require care and maintenance., 2j + 2t foils, they are high-performance catamarans, of greater length and for more than two or three crew. it is common to see them compete on international circuits. their main foils are in j, which is the same as an underwater v when the boat heels, so they regulate the flight height without the need for flaps. they are very technical boats that require a lot of training and good physical shape. in addition they are not affordable since their price is usually not within the reach of every pockets..
If you are a training center or sailing school...
We are developing a strategic plan for the commercialization and international expansion of the Mothquito that may interest you.

Flying Phantom Essentiel : THE mainstream foiling catamaran!
Summer is near in the Northern Hemisphere, everyone is back on the water How about going foiling this year ?
Foil sailing is becoming more common and more accessible. It is not the future of sailing anymore, it is all happening now ! Foils are everywhere : windsurfs, kitesurfs, catamarans, and even Optimists !
Even the American economic newspaper the Wall Street Journal is addressing the issue with a special review about the foiling boats to be published in the April 22nd Week-end Edition.
At Phantom International, we have launched the . A flying sport catamaran designed not only for a handful of top sailors, but for all sailing enthusiasts.
The objective is not to sail in the Olympic Games, but to discover a new fun way of sailing. With four watchwords : enjoyment, speed, comfort and safety.
As opposed to its big brother Flying Phantom Elite, the Flying Phantom Essential doesnt aim at high level competition like the FP Series. It is a versatile catamaran, made for leisure sailing as well as local beach cat regattas. The Essential flies in a wind range from 5 to 25 knots and can reach 20-25 knots of speed in 10 knots of wind. Thrill guaranteed !

There is not many boats left for a delivery in June, so if you want to enjoy it this summer, order your now!

Two weeks ago, Maurice, a 63 year old sailing enthusiast, tried the Flying Phantom Essential for the first time. Back on the beach, we asked him a few questions :
I have sailed on Hobie Cat 14, 16 and 18, and a few years on the F18, competing in local regattas and long distance racing. But it was my first time on the Flying Phantom Essential.
7-12 knots of shifty wind.
A feeling of freedom ! Its an easy boat, very similar to a F18. You start flying naturally as soon as you reach 11/12 knots. Flying above the water was a dream. Now its reality !
We have reached 23 knots of speed in some wind corridors.
For the crew, none. As a helmsman, you need to keep the boat as flat as possible et play with the helm to follow the wind. Under gennaker, you need to synchronize helm mouvements with the mainsail trim with more amplitude and reactivity than on the non foiling cat. Trimming the daggerboard up and down and the rake becomes obvious and natural very quickly.
First I would say comfort and ease of use. The racks are much more practical than trapezes, whether it is for leisure sailing or sport sailing. Then, the daggerboard system is simple and you can lift the daggerboard all the way out and land on the beach like with any normal beach catamaran.
Not at all. You just need a minimum of mobility, but the FP Essentiel is not a physical boat for any of the crew.
The level of someone who is used to sail on a beach cat with a spinnaker. The boat flies easily within 5 minutes.
Same as with an electric bike, you immediately get the comfort and relaxing feeling. We just wonder why we didnt think about it before !

Flying Phantom presentation
To fly in sport catamarans: the Flying Phantom was one of the first production catamarans to be equipped with foil, making flying navigation (almost) accessible to all.
The Flying Phantom has been declined in several models: the most sought-after is the "Flying Essential": it is equipped with a wing where the crew can rappel.
The Flying Phantom flying catamaran is no longer produced but you can find second-hand boats in near new condition on the second-hand market where you need a price of 25000€ to acquire this magnificent boat.
Production having stopped (Phantom International would have gone bankrupt), spare parts are complicated to find.

NO HOISTING AND LOWERING OF DAGGERBOARDS while sailing. (Only for beaching or in shallow waters.)
FREEDOM TO SWITCH BETWEEN FLYING MODE OR SAILING AS A CONVENTIONAL CATAMARAN (with at least the leeward hull touching the water). Within seconds iFLY15 can be switched to Non-Flight mode, even while sailing. In that mode, iFLY15 will not take off, but the foils will still create lift and give an extra agile sailing behavior, which is on the same time very stable as rudder Foils will avoid pitch poling. Non-Flight mode is providing additional security in extreme high wind speeds. It is also useful for less experienced sailors or in all situations, where taking off is undesirable (e.g. in the harbor or while towing…).
EASY TO LEARN FLYING BY AVERAGE SKILLED AND TRAINED SAILORS
EASY BEACHING AND SLIPPING , as simple as with any conventional beach catamaran by using a standard catamaran beach trolley. Foils remain flat under the keel, with the daggerboard lifted as on a conventional catamaran.

A flying catamaran
The most recent addition to the Sails of Change fleet, the TF35 is a latest generation flying catamaran. A worthy successor to the famous D35 launched in 2004 by the Swiss yard Décision, this 35-foot multihull is equipped with a unique computer-controlled automatic foil system enabling her to take off both upwind and downwind. Designed around her foils, the TF35 is intended to be both accessible and airborne; a compromise made possible with an on-board inertial guidance system. This technology enables the boat’s flight to be controlled electronically.
With this new catamaran equipped with T-shaped appendages (rudders and foils), the circuit is entering a whole new era: airborne, faster and more spectacular since the TF35 is capable of sailing at three times the wind speed.

A hydrofoil catamaran is a type of watercraft that combines the stability of a catamaran with the lift and speed of hydrofoils. It uses specially designed foils to lift the hulls out of the water, reducing drag and allowing for faster and smoother sailing. Hydrofoil catamarans are popular among sailors and water sports enthusiasts for their incredible speed, maneuverability, and thrilling foiling experience.
Shopping Links: Hydrofoil Catamarans on Amazon | Hydrofoil Catamarans on Walmart | Hydrofoil Catamarans on Etsy
Hydrofoil catamarans can reach speeds of up to 40 knots (46 mph) or more, depending on the design and conditions.
The foils on a hydrofoil catamaran can lift the hulls out of the water, reducing drag and allowing for a smoother and faster ride.
Hydrofoil catamarans are used for various purposes, including racing, recreational sailing, and even transportation.
Foiling on a hydrofoil catamaran requires some skill and practice, but it’s an exhilarating experience once you get the hang of it.
Hydrofoil catamarans come in different sizes and designs, catering to different skill levels and preferences.
Hydrofoil catamarans have a fascinating history that dates back to the early 20th century. The concept of using hydrofoils to lift boats out of the water and reduce drag was first explored by Italian engineer Enrico Forlanini in the late 1800s. However, it wasn’t until the 1950s that hydrofoil technology started to gain traction in the boating world.
The first hydrofoil catamaran, known as the “Aquavion,” was developed by the French engineer René Guilbaud in the 1950s. This innovative design combined the stability of a catamaran with the lift of hydrofoils, revolutionizing the world of sailing. Since then, hydrofoil catamarans have evolved and become more advanced, offering incredible speed, maneuverability, and stability on the water.
A hydrofoil catamaran works by utilizing hydrofoils, which are wing-like structures mounted underneath the hulls of the boat. These foils generate lift as the boat gains speed, lifting the hulls out of the water and reducing drag. This lift allows the hydrofoil catamaran to achieve higher speeds and a smoother ride compared to traditional boats.
The hydrofoils on a catamaran are typically designed with a curved shape, similar to an airplane wing. This shape creates a pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the foil, generating lift. The foils are usually adjustable, allowing the sailor to fine-tune the performance of the catamaran based on the sailing conditions.
To control the hydrofoil catamaran, sailors use a combination of steering and sail trim. By adjusting the angle of the foils and the sails, they can optimize the lift and balance of the boat, ensuring a stable and efficient ride. It takes some practice to master the art of foiling on a hydrofoil catamaran, but the rewards are well worth the effort.
Hydrofoil catamarans offer a range of benefits that make them a popular choice among sailors and water sports enthusiasts. Here are some of the key advantages of hydrofoil catamarans:
Speed : Hydrofoil catamarans are known for their incredible speed. By lifting the hulls out of the water, hydrofoils reduce drag and allow the boat to glide smoothly above the waves. This enables hydrofoil catamarans to reach impressive speeds, making them a thrilling choice for racing and high-performance sailing.
Maneuverability : The lift generated by hydrofoils enhances the maneuverability of catamarans. With reduced drag, hydrofoil catamarans can make sharp turns and quick maneuvers with ease. This agility is particularly useful in racing scenarios, where every second counts.
Stability : The dual-hull design of catamarans provides inherent stability, even at high speeds. When combined with hydrofoils, the stability of hydrofoil catamarans is further enhanced. This stability makes them suitable for sailors of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced professionals.
Efficiency : Hydrofoil catamarans are more efficient than traditional boats. By reducing drag, hydrofoils allow the boat to sail faster while using less power. This increased efficiency translates to longer sailing distances and reduced fuel consumption, making hydrofoil catamarans an environmentally friendly choice.
Versatility : Hydrofoil catamarans are versatile watercraft that can be used for various purposes. Whether you’re looking for a high-performance racing catamaran or a recreational sailboat for family outings, there’s a hydrofoil catamaran to suit your needs. Some models even offer the option to switch between foiling and non-foiling modes, providing flexibility on the water.
While hydrofoil catamarans offer numerous benefits, it’s important to consider their drawbacks as well. Here are a few potential downsides to keep in mind:
Cost : Hydrofoil catamarans tend to be more expensive than traditional boats. The advanced technology and materials used in their construction contribute to the higher price tag. Additionally, maintenance and repairs can also be costly, especially if specialized parts or services are required.
Learning Curve : Foiling on a hydrofoil catamaran requires some skill and practice. It can take time to learn how to control the boat effectively and maintain stability while flying above the water. Beginners may find the learning curve steep, but with dedication and proper instruction, anyone can master the art of hydrofoil catamaran sailing.
Weather Conditions : Hydrofoil catamarans are sensitive to weather conditions. While they excel in flat water and moderate winds, rough seas and strong gusts can pose challenges. It’s important to be aware of the weather forecast and choose suitable sailing conditions to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Transportation and Storage : Hydrofoil catamarans can be larger and bulkier than traditional boats, making transportation and storage more challenging. Specialized trailers or racks may be required to transport the catamaran, and adequate storage space is needed to protect it when not in use.
Despite these drawbacks, the thrill and excitement of foiling on a hydrofoil catamaran outweigh the challenges for many sailing enthusiasts.
When it comes to choosing the right hydrofoil catamaran, there are several factors to consider. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Skill Level : Consider your skill level and experience as a sailor. Some hydrofoil catamarans are designed for advanced sailors, while others are more beginner-friendly. Choose a catamaran that matches your skill level to ensure a safe and enjoyable sailing experience.
Intended Use : Determine how you plan to use the hydrofoil catamaran. Are you looking for a racing catamaran, a recreational sailboat, or something in between? Different models offer varying features and performance characteristics, so it’s essential to choose a catamaran that aligns with your intended use.
Budget : Set a budget for your hydrofoil catamaran purchase. Prices can vary significantly depending on the brand, model, and features. Consider both the upfront cost and the long-term maintenance expenses when determining your budget.
Brand and Reputation : Research different brands and their reputation in the hydrofoil catamaran industry. Look for brands with a track record of producing high-quality, reliable catamarans. Reading customer reviews and seeking recommendations from experienced sailors can also provide valuable insights.
Demo and Test Sails : Whenever possible, try out different hydrofoil catamarans before making a final decision. Many manufacturers and dealers offer demo and test sails, allowing you to experience the performance and handling of the catamaran firsthand. This hands-on experience can help you make an informed choice.
Remember, choosing the right hydrofoil catamaran is a personal decision that depends on your individual preferences and needs. Take your time, do your research, and consult with experts to find the perfect catamaran for your hydrofoil adventures.
Proper maintenance and care are essential to keep your hydrofoil catamaran in top shape and ensure its longevity. Here are some maintenance tips to help you keep your catamaran performing at its best:
Rinse with Fresh Water : After each sailing session, rinse your hydrofoil catamaran with fresh water to remove salt and debris. Pay special attention to the foils, as saltwater can cause corrosion over time.
Inspect for Damage : Regularly inspect your catamaran for any signs of damage or wear. Check the foils, hulls, rigging, and sails for any cracks, dents, or loose fittings. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
Store Properly : When not in use, store your hydrofoil catamaran in a dry and secure location. If possible, keep it covered to protect it from the elements. Consider using a boat cover or storing it in a boat shed or garage.
Follow Manufacturer’s Guidelines : Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for maintenance and care. Each catamaran may have specific recommendations for cleaning, lubrication, and other maintenance tasks. Adhering to these guidelines will help prolong the life of your catamaran.
Seek Professional Assistance : If you’re unsure about any maintenance tasks or need assistance, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Local boatyards, sailing clubs, or authorized dealers can provide expert advice and services to keep your catamaran in optimal condition.
By following these maintenance tips and caring for your hydrofoil catamaran, you can enjoy many years of thrilling foiling adventures on the water.
How fast is the hydrofoil catamaran?
Hydrofoil catamarans can reach impressive speeds, depending on various factors such as the design, wind conditions, and skill of the sailor. Some high-performance hydrofoil catamarans can exceed 40 knots (46 mph) or more. However, the exact speed will vary based on these factors.
How does a foil catamaran work?
A foil catamaran, also known as a hydrofoil catamaran, works by utilizing hydrofoils to lift the hulls out of the water. These foils generate lift as the boat gains speed, reducing drag and allowing for faster and smoother sailing. The lift created by the foils enables the catamaran to “fly” above the water, resulting in increased speed and improved performance.
What happened to hydrofoils?
Hydrofoils have a rich history and have been used in various applications, including passenger ferries, military vessels, and recreational boats. While hydrofoils experienced a surge in popularity in the mid-20th century, their use declined in some sectors due to factors such as high costs, maintenance challenges, and the development of alternative technologies. However, hydrofoils continue to be used in niche markets, including high-performance sailing and racing.

Are hydrofoil boats more efficient?
Yes, hydrofoil boats are generally more efficient than traditional boats. By lifting the hulls out of the water, hydrofoils reduce drag and allow the boat to sail faster while using less power. This increased efficiency translates to longer sailing distances and reduced fuel consumption. However, it’s important to note that the efficiency gains may vary depending on factors such as the design, sailing conditions, and skill of the sailor.
Hydrofoil catamarans offer an exhilarating and thrilling experience on the water. With their incredible speed, maneuverability, and stability, they have become a favorite among sailors and water sports enthusiasts. While they may come with a higher price tag and require some skill to master, the rewards of foiling on a hydrofoil catamaran are well worth it.
When choosing a hydrofoil catamaran, consider factors such as your skill level, intended use, budget, and the reputation of the brand. Take the time to research and test different models to find the perfect catamaran for your needs.
So, are you ready to take flight on a hydrofoil catamaran? Embrace the thrill, experience the freedom, and enjoy the incredible sensation of soaring above the water. Happy foiling!
