Foiling Catamarans

Nacra F18 FCS

Ready to start flying? The Nacra F18 FCS sure is! Just put her together and start racing. This F18 is ready for full foiling, designed to fly in a wide range of weather conditions and to make competitive catamaran sailing accessible to even more sailors. The Nacra F18 FCS has been built to meet the highest safety standards. It’s one of only two production catamarans made with a modern infusion system. This allows better material weight distribution within the hulls, yielding greater stiffness where it is needed. And stiffness is speed. A real treat for the more, or a little less, experienced sailors.

The open multifunctional dagger board has been designed to easily transform this foiling Nacra F18 back to a class legal F18 in 30 minutes. The Nacra F18 FCS offers the ultimate sailing experience, but beware: sailing the F18 FCS is addictive. And like its predecessor, the F18 Infusion, it’s a real winner. Where the F18 Infusion became World Champion in 2008, 2009, 2013, 2014 and 2015 in the F18 class, the F18 FCS will surely go for gold in the future.

Important Information

The F18 FCS is one of our finest foiling boats. However, it is not yet approved for the official Formula 18 Class fleet. To accommodate sailors, we offer a Conversion Kit, to easily convert your F18 FCS into a class-legal racer. For more information, please contact us.

F18 Class

The F18 class is founded in 1993 by Pierre Charles Barraud and Olivier Bovyn. The F18 class aims to provide fair racing for crews of various weights. With the use of two different sail sizes of jibs and spinnakers, crews can weigh from 115 to over 150 kg. Competition between the manufacturers keep the costs at the lowest level. Allowing mixed and female crews to compete on an equal basis in large male fleets made entering in the class more accessible for every sailor. The Formula 18 class keeps offering popular, exciting, safe and fair racing, and also keeps on growing and evolving.
