The Kitefoiler is a quick-build prototype made from three A-class catamaran hulls in order to verify the virtual pivot point system concept. This was the first boat with which we used a rigid launching mast, and we used this platform to develop a successful launch protocol using only the A-frame mast and a winch. The Kitefoiler has external foil enclosures, while K2’s updated foil mechanism is contained within the hulls.
