Speaker updates for the World Foiling Congress, ready to go on April 18th at Porto Antico di Genova Magazzini del Cotone The congress program has been developed to discuss the most relevant topics of a new born industry and association: Certifications, IP, Insurances, Sustainability. A very key industry topic will be the revision of the Recreational Craft Directive which aims to include foiling in the next iteration. This will certainly benefit the system by making certification and insurances easier, on the other side we must get it right since it will be "the law" till 2045. It is paramount that experts from the industry participate and cooperate in defining what foiling is, discuss stability rules and the safety of crafts in case of foils collisions.
