3/5 Flying is one thing; stability is another. T-foil rudders with elevators control pitch. By using asymmetric differential, the pilot counters heeling forces without losing top speed. A surgical balance on the edge. ⚓ #NavalArchitecture #Tech

Live: Classic Yacht Symposium with Paul Cayard and top speakers Paul Cayard live at the Classic Yacht Symposium Helsinki! The event is sold out, but a free livestream is still available. So you can be there.

5/5 - Since 2011, this forum has become the global hub for classic "Blue Tech." It proves that preserving historic hulls and architectural innovation are two sides of the same coin for nautical sovereignty. 🌍✨

3/6 🛠️ Tech supporting boldness: with more seaworthy hulls, high-performance autopilots, and precision forecasting, Mini 6.50s are now capable of tackling the North Atlantic on the return leg. #NavalArchitecture

3/7 Regarding #NavalArchitecture, the 15.24m (50ft) trimaran received a new mast and sail plan. Electronics were optimized to sharpen our VMG (Velocity Made Good - the best trade-off between speed and angle to the wind). #Tech

4/7 🏗️ Tech focus: #FormulaKite and #iQFOiL (foiling windsurf) dominate the schedule with 16 races planned. Flight stability and hydrodynamic fine-tuning will be decisive on the tactical waters of Palma Bay. #NavalArchitecture

4/7 🏗️ Focus technique : Le #FormulaKite et l'#iQFOiL (planche à voile à foils) dominent le calendrier avec 16 courses prévues. La stabilité du vol et la finesse des réglages hydrodynamiques seront décisives sur le plan d'eau tactique de la baie de Palma. #NavalArchitecture

2/6 The boat? "Bibi", a #Rustler36. This 35ft long-keel monohull is a benchmark for stability and load capacity in the Southern Ocean. Andrea has already completed his 4,736-mile solo qualification aboard this reliable yacht. #NavalArchitecture

3/7 The Nacra 17 is a complex foiling catamaran. Integrating Aloïse requires surgical work on communication and task sharing to optimize stable flight, especially in heavy air. #NavalArchitecture

4/6 Focus on the mast: the vertical structure supporting the sails. In the Ocean Fifty class, masts are fixed (tilting is prohibited by rules). Its replacement is critical for performance and safety during upcoming high-wind sessions. #NavalArchitecture 🏗️

1/10 🛠️ Architectural breakthrough: #VoileBanquePop entrusts its future Ultim 15 to Antoine Koch. Goal? Infuse IMOCA foiler DNA into a 32m giant. A bet on aerodynamic finesse and early take-off. Stabilized flight enters a surgical era. #NavalArchitecture #Ultim

1/10 🛠️ Rupture architecturale : #VoileBanquePop confie son futur Ultim 15 à Antoine Koch. Objectif ? Injecter l'ADN des monocoques foilers dans un géant de 32m. Un pari sur la finesse aérodynamique et le décollage précoce. Le vol stabilisé passe en mode chirurgical. #NavalArchitecture #Ultim
