DISCOVER NIKKI
Innovative Foil Design
Fully articulating balanced lifting foil design dramatically reduces the risk of “foiling crashes”, making foiling much easier and safer.
Very low drag and always in laminal flow means speed and efficiency.
Easy Launching
Fully retractable Daggerboard and Rudder Verticals, and clip on lifting foils that allow you to launch straight from the trolley. No need to tip the boat over.
Clamps on both centreboard and rudder box, to hold retracted foils while on land.
Quick Rigging
Nikki comes pre-assembled and clips together super quickly. Rig up in less than 10 minutes and get on the water!
Wings that can easily and quickly be removed in less than five seconds.
Three rig sizes
Unstayed two-piece carbon fibre mast features a halyard designed specifically to make rigging and de-rigging easy on shore or the water.
The mast bases are of different lengths to suit the sail sizes, and all tips and bases are easily interchangeable.
3 different rig sizes available for all sailor weights and conditions: 4.3m², 5.5m² and 6.5m²
Safety
Fully-adjustable wand allows sailors to start low to the water’s surface and gradually fly higher as they gain skill and experience.
Visable on the water
High-visibility colours on sails, wings and foils, so others can easily spot Nikki from a distance.
Capsize-righting ropes as standard, so sailors of any weight can easily right the boat.
