Since 2014 the A-Class with our design hydrofoils is the founder of the so-called Z-foil configuration.
Because both foils are inserted downwards, a V-shape is created under water. The A-cat flies above the water on this created lift surface.
The latest generation of Z-foils of the DNA F1x is a design by the designers of Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) and Glenn Ashby.
Base material: All F1x hydrofoils are made of carbon pre-preg. Thanks to our unique ‘one-shot’ production process, we manufacture all our continuous fiber foils, cured under vacuum in our 6.5 x 2.20 meter Autoclave.
The specially developed production method creates a hydrofoil that cures in one go, without any glue joints and including internal stiffening ribs. The result is a super-strong hydrofoil that is as light as possible. All foils are finished with high-quality paint finish. Color of your choice.
Our automated pre-preg cutting machine from the Zünd brand prepares the laminates with high precision. A five-axis milling machine with a working range of 5.5 x 2.5 x 2 meters molds the required tooling fully automatically. All of this in-house.
The production of the F1x hydrofoils for the A-cat is entirely in the hands of DNA Performance Sailing. We are constantly working on the further development of this super fast foiling catamaran. Besides the latest version DNA F1x, we now also have the DNA F1 Vintage, for the non-foiling group A-class sailors.
