KiteFoiling is one of the most thrilling and high-performance classes. Its growth and popularity have been largely due to an inclusive community, advances in technology and a challenging but rewarding learning progression. As a class, the ‘Formula Kite’ provides an Olympic option with universal access and affordability, while the ‘Open KiteFoil’ racing arena allows sailors of any background, on any equipment to test and enjoy the discipline in their own style. KiteFoiling uses a mix of sailing skills and skills from other sports. It offers a unique and innovative way for members to enjoy the water and apply their current skills, while developing new ones.

After plans for joining a boat for the Volvo Round Ireland Race fell through, we were determined to get out and get some footage of some of the leading boats passing down through the Irish Sea. At around 2000 on Sunday night we headed out in 20 knots of breeze in a 6M Rib to try catch the 3 MOD70's which were competing, But unfortunately these were just too fast. Our next target was to try catch George David's Juan K Canting Keel Rambler 88 the next morning. We set off at around 5am in light winds and headed North to meet the boat as it passed The Maidens off Larne. We stayed with the boat for around 30 minutes and even though the breeze was only a Force 3, Rambler still was racing along at around 14 knots. We are interested in getting involved with some offshore sailing for the 2017/2018 season. As well as event coverage we'd love to sponsor a yacht for an online media campaign, including video, photography and social media. Get in touch via info@sixnineone.co for a chat about what we can do for you.
