Simply awesome! :encouragement:

I imagine 40 days is very possible but I wouldn't expect to see it reduce much more than a day or two at a time. It would be fascinating to know where the limit actually is though.

Has anyone here on these forums sailed on one of these foiling tri's? I'd love to hear impressions about it.

Fascinating! However I fear that I am fated to remain forever in Archimedean mode!

Not a tri but offshore foiling nonetheless, the Figaro monotype class association has chosen the design for the Figaro 3, which will be used from IIRC from 2018
