The Gonet Monofoil was designed by a team including skipper Eric Monnin and his brother Jean-Claude, an expert on foil design for Emirates Team New Zealand in the last Cup in Bermuda.
The boat was two years in development with testing on Lake Lucerne — the project was launched before the Kiwis, as America’s Cup winners in 2017, announced a surprise switch to foiling monohulls from the high-speed foiling multihulls of the past two editions.
Testing today in burly sea conditions with Max Carlgren and Michael Mahlberg from Båtnytt magazine. Some difficulty with the winch when retrieving the kite.
