Hurricane Center Changes Every Skipper Should Know: https://www.practical-sailor.com/safety-seamanship/hurricane-center-changes-every-skipper-should-know/

Foiling sailboats used to belong to the extreme edge of the sport:
America’s Cup teams, SailGP, Olympic sailors, Moths, kite foilers, and high-performance racing programs. But now companies like BirdyFish are trying to bring hydrofoil sailing to normal sailors with production foiling dinghies that can be bought, launched, and sailed without a full race team behind you. In this Practical Sailor video, we take a close look at BirdyFish, the French foiling dinghy brand building small sailboats with white hulls, black sails, and unmistakable pink foils.

We cover what BirdyFish is, where it came from, who these foiling dinghies are really for, how much they cost, how they work, and whether they actually make foiling practical for everyday sailors. From the
BirdyFish S to the smaller Ioda foiler, this is a look at whether hydrofoil sailing is finally moving from elite racing into the hands of regular dinghy sailors, sailing schools, yacht clubs, and curious boat owners who want to know if normal people can really foil.
