10' Pocket Foiler designed by Hugh Welbourn--
The types of Pboats wanted to do a flying Diecipiedi for the class of the same name and watching the boats of Hugh Welbourn have decided to ask him a 10 Ft monohull that could sail both in displacement that glide and flying.

So you can have fun in all wind conditions ... of course, foiling is the novelty for a small monohull (Waszp, Moth and UFO are a separate category)

A simple boat to be managed by one person, also suitable for children, double choice of rig: single 8 sqm mainsail or mainsail and additional 8 square meters for the more experienced and heavy.

The boat flies with 6/8 knots of wind (depending on the weight of the helmsman), easy to launch and wing with a slide with an Open Bic type trolley, the easiest way to approach the foilers in our opinion. It is 3.04 meters long, 1.45 meters wide, weighs 48 kg and supports up to 90 kg of helmsmen.

Glass and epoxy construction with carbon reinforcements, epoxy glass and carbon brackets, t-bar adjustable bayonet turret, tilting central drift (classic) and two retractable L-shaped foils both for displacement and for launching. Carbon mast with batten laminate mainsail, optional gennaker with bowsprit and snuffer.

An interesting boat for an audience that is not "raced" but loves innovation.

BirdyFish-
from Fred Monnsenecs "FOILERS!" at Nautic 2018: Designed by Étienne Bertrand, this BirdyFish has a hull that looks like Fireball. No doubt its bilges and its bow to pommel recall this legendary dinghy. " We wanted a scow hull because we want to offer a versatile dinghy, it must be able to sail without its foils and remain pleasant. " This dinghy which measures 4.65 m keeps a width of 1.80 m for effective recall.

69F foiler--- 69F Foiling http://www.pressure-drop.us/forums/showthread.php?5167-69F-Foiling
Interesting which way the uptip foils point-exact opposite of a "normal' uptip foil(and similar to the foiling Fireball above). The Quant 23, 17 and one other boat have foils the point outboard as well but work differently.

Excerpt:
The challenge today is that of budgets, that is to be able to achieve high-performance boats with resources accessible to a larger number of enthusiasts and professionals.

69F interprets this challenge to the fullest by integrating three project levels and three strategic objectives in a single format.

69F has three components:
- Sport, made up of athletes
- Communication, developed by MKTG professionals and journalists
- Technology, interpreted by "Digital Sailing" specialists.

The synergistic goal of these three souls is to propose to the international market an integrated format consisting of:

- A model of original and unprecedented foiling boat: at 6.90m, the 69F is a small, very light yet stable design that bridges the gap in high-performance sportboats between the fastest displacement class and a true foiling sportboat. With a crew of three, the boat has racks rather than trapezes for easier manoeuvres and safer navigation, V-shaped lifting foils, a T-shaped rudder, a lifting fin, and 40sqm (78sqm downwind) of sail to propel only 360kg in boat weight plus another 270kg in crew. The 69F is suitable both for professional use and for high and medium level sportsboat sailors who want to take a step into the monohull foiling world in the easiest and safest way possible.
