They have been around for quite a while, however many have not discovered the "Magic of Hydrofoils on Sailboats" An amazing milestone in 1990, the Hobie trifoiler, a twin sail trimaran, was the fastest production sailboat at 30 knots. Key Takeaways Flying sailboats are hydrofoils, which have power coming from the wind and water. Over 100 years have gone since the introduction of foils and many have been developed Foils need to be powered by hydraulic fluid to move in addition to wind and water and by lifting the hulls out of the water up to 80% of the drag is reduced allowing the wind to do a lot more in terms of performance. There are plenty of affordable options for those that need to budget or want to test foils Foiling classes give you a feel for what to expect in the event that you want to buy one and get on board with the magic! A foiling system on a sailboat offers high cruise and top speed on many monohull and multihull sailboats. On electric boats, foils allow a smaller and less expensive sized powertrain to get very usable range. (Many posts on this feed and others show that 1/4 to 1/5 the size powertrain allows a hydrofoil electric boat to compete with an internal combustion engine boat in terms of cruise speed.) But what makes a hydrofoil sailboat magical? #hydrofoils #electrichydrofoils https://lnkd.in/gdxUtdiQ

Olympic Gold Medalist🏅 Performance Coach ☯️ Author ✍🏼 Unlock Your Why, Achieve Impacting Wins, & Ride Better Life Waves
Learning & Competition… I was 19 years old when I moved the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) to pursue our goals related to canoeing in the Olympic Games. NOC’s remote Appalachian setting on the Nantahala River combined with a community of dedicated paddlers and paddlesports leaders helped shape the environment we believe we needed to pursue peak performance at the 1992 Olympic Games. When I arrived, one of NOC’s cofounders, Relia Kennedy, offered me a job washing dishes one day per week at the restaurant baring her name in exchange for the NOC staff meal plan. This amounted to 20 meals per week all served on-site with other NOC staff members. Little did I know that exchanging work for meals would be with 1000x the value of a currency exchange. At these staff meals, the best kayak instructors in the world broke bread with top competitive paddlers who had chosen to train at NOC for similar reasons that I did. We’d sit at wooden tables over long lunches and dinners and simply deep dive into all things whitewater river technique - progressions, philosophies, innovations, stories, refinements, etc. Everyone seemed to leave these meals a little better - excited to experiment, wiser for new perspectives, and grateful to be a part of an amazing community. Such interactions between world class instructors and athletes were hardly singular occurrences at NOC. Nearly half of the 1972 Olympic Canoe Slalom Team worked NOC in its early years. Soon after that, national team athletes, world medalists, and Olympians took leadership positions there. Culture building here was clear and intentional; its processes were innovative and respectful; the results were exceptional and sustained over a long period of time. This company post from NOC highlights an article that beautifully recognizes the deep and powerful effect of bridging high-level instruction and competition… that build a better culture… that creates a better experience. #adventure #culture #competition
Special thanks to Paddling Life for this piece on our renowned Paddling School at NOC! Its not widely publicized, but NOC instructors and staff were the early pioneers of whitewater paddlesports in the Southeast and developed not only some of the maneuvers in kayaking and canoeing still used today, but it also influenced boat development and outfitting, safety protocol, and more. We are proud of the early leaders in our industry that called NOC home! If you want to learn a new sport or hone your current skills, there is still time to take a course before the end of our 2023 season!
