We believe retractable foils are a must !
Consequence 1 : With this unique system, you can start from the beach or come back at the beach without risking the impact (bathers - beach - rocks). The appendages being raised upwards, they no longer present any danger of contact below the waterline.
Consequence 2 : Then, you can always retract the foils if the wind is too strong or too weak, which ensures a high security to the boat.
Indeed, if the wind rises, you calm the game and retract the foils.
If wind power is close to zero, you retract foils to reduce the drag which will slow you down.
Consequence 3 : The handling of the boat, from its launching trolley, is extremely simplified since any appendage is drawing waterline. In addition, once "parked", Peacoq’ doesn’t take more width than a conventional dinghy with the foils stowed..
Consequence 4 : Thanks to this system, you can switch from displacement mode (floating mode) to foiler mode (flying mode) in the blink of an eye. 👀
In short, this unique foil retraction system guarantees a high level of safety and reduces constraints normally found on a foiler. This is our foil (in the literal sense) our value added ! 😊
