Features and Benefits

Particularities : Boat able to sail with foils up to wind of force 4 and a swell of 80cm. Beyond these weather conditions, it is not to sail or by raising the foils and returning to a shelter at moderate speed. The version of Hydro Fly without the foils allows to navigate in all weather.

Equipement : The Hydro Fly 9.5 will have mechanisms integrated in the floats for the automatic raising of the foils and their lowering as well as engine

The delta wing is arranged with sunbathing, double benches and high quality furniture. Several storage spaces are provided and easy to access

The center hull includes an interior design worthy of a yacht and may be modified at the request of the purchaser

A touch pad handles the various functions of the boat while there is a throttle to the right of the pilot

An automatic bimini-top will cover the whole cell of life in the back of the boat and to the cockpit

Hydro Fly 9.5 is a hydrofoil propelled by an outboard engine

It is a boat whose hull rises and holds in elevation above the water from a certain speed. This kinetics is obtained thanks to the lift of a set of marine wings and which operate according to the same principle as an airplane wing.

The navigation above the flow of the Hydro Fly 9.5  is about 80cm and reduces by about 30% the forces of friction which are usually exerted on the hulls when they are in contact with the water.

With less resistance to advancement, the boat consumes less fuel and goes faster. In addition, he did not suffer either chop or roll. The foils split the wave and the hydrofoil remains flat
