Prototypes
Tomahawk easy foilerAt the 2009 RYA Volvo Dinghy Show, Ovington Boats revealed a new concept dinghy using the foil system by Tomahawk Foils. The boat incorporates the surface running, ventilated hydrofoil invented and patented by Tomahawk Foils.
The Phil Morrison designed boat brings foiling to a wider audience, fully exploiting the forgiving characteristics of the new concept and enabling most dinghy sailors to foil after minimal practice. It also enables sailors with a wider range of weight to get airborne as opposed to the traditional lightweights that sail the International Moth. The design was tested, developed and refined by well-known, Weymouth sailor and dinghy manufacturer, Linton Jenkins. He says: “The Tomahawk foil takes all the complications out of hydro foiling and offers a whole new sailing experience.” Unfortunately this great boat didn't go into production and it last rumoured whereabouts is somewhere in Romania. |
