About the FOILING UFO
LWL = 105 inch waterline length + 15 inch rudder gantry. Centerline T-foil arrangement.
The Foiling UFO is a specialized 10.0 ft foiling catamaran designed by Steve Clark and Dave Clark, built by Fulcrum Speedworks (USA) in 2017. With a displacement of 110.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 1.88, this vessel represents an extreme end of the performance spectrum, prioritizing speed and foiling capability over traditional cruising comfort.
- Best for:
- This boat is exclusively suited for experienced single-handers or tandem racers seeking high-performance foiling thrills in controlled, sheltered waters. It is not appropriate for novice sailors, coastal cruising, or any form of overnight passage making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 4.66 and a displacement of 110.0 lb, this boat has zero bluewater capability and is strictly limited to protected inland waters or very calm coastal conditions under expert supervision.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other specialized foiling catamarans such as the Nacra 15 or F-18 Cat, which share similar high-performance foiling characteristics and extreme light displacement. Unlike traditional cruising cats, these boats are designed purely for racing and technical foiling maneuvers.
