Après l’engouement suscité par le Flying Phantom en 2014, trois nouveaux catas de sport volants sont apparus sur la Nautic de Paris 2014 : le Nacra 20 FCS, le Solent Whisper et le Bemare S9. Trois bateaux montés sur foils, mais dont les autres caractéristiques (taille, prix, complexité) diffèrent sensiblement. Revue de détail avec Pierre-Marie Bourguinat.

By Horue Movie: 1000 windsurfers at the biggest windsfurfing race worldwide, including 1 windfoiler. This amazing movie is dedicated to windfoil during the “Défi Wind 2014” of Gruissan.
About the Défi Wind: Réunir pros et amateurs sur une unique ligne de départ autour de la passion du windsurf, voici l’esprit du Défi Wind de Gruissan depuis ses origines. L’association de Wind magazine et de Gruissan dès 2001 et surtout la passion de l’équipe d’organisation menée par Philippe Bru, ont rapidement fait de cet évènement une référence mondiale incontournable. Plus grand rassemblement de windsurfeurs au monde, près de 1000 stars et anonymes s’y retrouvent chaque année pour une longue distance hors norme, à fond au planing. Concerts endiablés, animations et Festival du Film de windsurf s’ajoutent à la compétition pour le plus grand bonheur de tous.

The Kiteboat Project has existed in some form since 1997, when Don Montague first began attaching kites to boats. Between 1997 and 2006, Don worked with a team in Hawaii to develop kites for use with surfing canoes, small catamarans, and large motored cats; their accomplishments included wave-riding and several island crossings. Between 2006 and 2008, Don worked on modifying and testing the Trifoiler and Quadfoiler test platforms through Makani Power, a Bay Area wind power company that he co-founded in the fall of 2006. The current team began to take shape in late 2008, when the Kiteboat Project acquired funding from the Marine Science Technology Foundation and moved to its own workshop in Alameda. We have since secured other funding and have put together a team of marine architects, sailors, and software developers dedicated to realizing the Kiteboat vision through building and testing the first platform of its kind built specifically for kites.
