For a Hydrofoil catamaran / flying boat usually winds beyond 20kts. and high waves are considered problematic. However, iFLY15, equipped with mechanic flight control system FlySafe®, is able to fly stable in most demanding conditions, with wind exceeding 25kts. See in this video sea conditions turning more and more extreme, and iFLY15 foiling stable and fast above the waves. In the second part of the video, as conditions exceed the 30kts., see spectacular footage of iFLY15 sailing in safety mode "NoFly", which can be activated easily within seconds. in "NoFly" mode, the foils will still create lift and the flight control system will still stabilize the catamaran against rake and nosediving, but the FlySafe® system will delimitate lift to prevent the boat from full foiling. In "NoFly" mode" in stormy conditions, the boat behavior is agile and very stable against pitch poling. FlySafe® technology together with a relatively small sail area of the foiler (on a mast of only 7.5m height) and a total width as large as 2.50m, make the iFLY15 more safe to sail in stormy conditions than bigger catamarans of 18ft. or 20ft.
