Reviews of two foiling A-Cat sailors / Foiling A Class, talking about their experience sailing the iFLY RAZZOR Pro. Hear directly from these experienced sailors as they share their thoughts and insights on sailing the iFLY RAZZOR Pro on the Cayman Islands - Dragon Bay Sailing Club.
-- Alun Davies: Olympian in the Tornado class:
"What a boat! it feels like it's meant to be there. Born to fly."
"It's way easier than the A Cat. With the A Cat, you are just on the edge!"
"It's an incredible boat! And it's just a lot more relaxing ...
... and doing the same speed as on an Acat!"
"What a beast! You are praying it doesn't go any faster! Yeah, please don't go any faster!"
"And it flies so stable, it just doesn't want to land!
-- Phil Cater, foiling Acat sailor, Grand Cayman:
"This is my first day on trying out the brand new to the club iFLY15.
I am an Acat sailor and this is the first time I have tried this.
Certainly, it is a lot more stable. And we are getting up in very light winds.
I had a great flight! and a lot more steady flying downwind than I've been doing on the Acat"
"It's a lot more flight time."
"That was a great, pleasant experience... and she is very forgiving".

It is my baby. Developed and build with love and high-tech. It makes me really very happy to hear from seasoned foiling Acat sailors that they love the boat very much. Acat and iFly, actually have a lot in common. The same high-tech approach, the same excellent materials (carbon, epoxy sandwich, titanium, anodized aluminum), the same suppliers, sail makers, mast builders (an Acat rig is even 100% compatible)... only iFly has a bit of an advantage, because it is free from the limitations of the Acat box rules. This Acat box rules (especially the controversial rule 8) were originally implemented to ban flying on the Acat. But clever engineers found a way, anyway, and the Acat started flying - even though originally conceived as a non-foiling class. With these limitation due to the Acat box rule, it is obviously a lot harder to develop a boat that is flying stable. Free of these limitations, iFLY was "born to fly" and can therefore take advantage of automatic and active foil control systems, supporting a unmatched stable flight attitude. This makes the iFly not only accessible, but also fast, as it allows sustainable flying over long distances, also Upwind foiling. And on iFly this is achievable not only by very advanced sailors, but also by normal beach catamaran or dinghy sailors. The same superior flight stability that makes foiling possible for these sailors allows the advanced sailor on iFLY RAZZOR to push hard and reach very high speeds and keep flying in strong winds and rough conditions. @skiboy0fstowe2000 : don't dream your life, live your dream.
