Iltchi is a tough, stylish and fast ketch, designed to reward her owner with a great sailing experience. In terms of appearance, this 76ft centreboard ketch is something of a departure for Hoek Design, but as far as function is concerned, she is very much within our scope of naval architecture. Designed as a long-distance, go anywhere cruising yacht with a ketch-rigged sail plan, she should be powerful and efficient off the wind and easily managed by a short-handed crew. She is destined for Pacific cruising, where her ability to reduce draft to 2.6m should come in very useful. The focal point of the accommodation is a combined galley, navigation and dining area located in the main deckhouse where the occupants can enjoy a superb 360° view of their surroundings. The owners’ cabin and one guest cabin are located forward with two guest cabins aft, one of which can become a crew cabin if required. The interior is finished in white washed oak and features leather upholstered seating. The main cockpit is large and well protected with all sheet winches positioned within reach of the helmsman. There is tender stowage beneath the expansive aft deck and the transom door opens to double as a swimming and boarding platform. Her aluminium hull was built by Alucraft and fitted out and finished by Aluboot, both in the Netherlands. Iltchi is named after Winnetou’s horse in the German novels of the same name – it means ‘wind’.

The first step on the foiling journey for any sailor, windsurfer or kiteboarder who wants to experience foiling, is to take part in a FoilLab delivered at a club, by a qualified club coach. FoilLabs focus on the fundamental skills required to begin foiling and assist participants to understand what is happening with the foil below the surface of the water, and how to control it. A FoilLab is relevant no matter which foiling class a sailor chooses (WindFoil, KiteFoil, SailFoil, or WingFoil). FOIL-LABs are a day long introductory session allowing participants to experience and learn about foiling. FOIL-LABs provide a safe space for sailors to learn and interact with a new type of sailing experience and equip themselves with new knowledge to take on foiling classes. Sailors will learn the fundamentals that drive a hydrofoils performance, as well learn about the body and physical relationships that offer a path to mastery. Mastering the basics gives more options to have more fun, more often. It also allows sailors to chase performance in a range of modern performance sailing classes in a fun and fulfilling way.
