Boat Information
The wings can easily and quickly be removed in less than five seconds. Just one pin holds them in place, making getting to the water even quicker.
The two-piece carbon fibre mast has different length mast bases to suit the sail size (5.5 or 6.5).
All tips and bases are easily interchangeable between rigs.
Its simple foiling system dramatically reduces the chance of 'foil crashing', as experienced with many other foiling craft, making it much more accessible to the wider public.
The fully-retractable foils can be easily clipped on or off, all by the push of a button. No need to tip the boat over when rigging!
The fully-adjustable wand allows sailors to start low to the water's surface and gradually fly higher as they gain skill and experience.
Safety Aspects
Nikki has been designed to address as many safety aspects as possible:
- A boom pad to help reduce the risk of head injuries.
- Capsize-righting ropes as standard, so sailors of any weight can easily right the boat.
- High-visibility colours on sails, wings and foils, so others can easily spot Nikki from a distance.
- Clamps on both centreboard and rudder box, to hold retracted foils while on land.
- A mast lock to prevent the mast falling out in the event of a capsize.
All models are pre-assembled and ready to hit the water out of the box.
All foiling systems are pre-set, rig up in 10 minutes and go sailing! Both boat’s wings can easily and quickly be removed in less than five seconds. Just one pin holds them in place, making getting to the water even quicker.
