OFFICIAL iQFOiL YOUTH EQUIPMENT
Fin or foil, from 5 knots to 35 knots, the iQFOiL Youth package delivers the ultimate in windsurfing racing performance with just one board, one foil, one fin, one sail.
The iQFOiL Youth package includes a Starboard iQFOiL 85 Starlite Carbon board, the Severne HyperGlide Olympic rig in 8.0 (with the GO Boom 186-236) and the iQFOiL Aluminium foil by Starboard Foils.
For the 2020 season, clinics and demo events were organised in conjunction with the official iQFOiL championships as well as special dedicated events all around the world. Senior/Youth/Junior sailors and Coaches took part, demoed the equipment and learned the basics of foiling.
The iQFOiL Youth & Junior Class application has been approved by World Sailing. Official World and Continental Championships are expected to run from 2021 onwards.
SEVERNE HGO
OLYMPIC RACING
The Severne HGO is a first of its kind. A foil racing sail built especially for the official iQFOiL class and will be the official sail for the 2024 Paris Olympic games. HGO is based on Severne’s already successful foil racing platform with multiple titles under its belt.
In 2019 World Sailing called for Sea Trials to select the equipment for the next Olympic Games in Paris’24. When this opportunity presented itself, Gonzalo Costa Hoevel(PWA Foil world champion) took the lead of the project together with Ben Severne in creating the ultimate foil racing sail. Countless hours of R&D and brainstorming resulted in a sail that not only will you faster on the racecourse but also deliver top speeds.
The HGO focuses on speed and ease of handle with a reduced luff curve and re-distribution of shaping. The control gained from these design features allows for any foil racing newcomer to get to competition level speeds in no time.

STARBOARD FOILS iQFOiL ALUMINUM
Components: 900 front wing | 255 tail wing with -2 degree | 115 Plus fuselage | 95 Plus fuselage | 95cm iQFOiL mast
Back to back 2017/2018 World Champion and Vice World Champion, making it the most successful racing foil in windsurfing to date: Starboard’s Race foil started the iQFoil project and it is the foil that made foiling in the Olympics a possibility. Its innovative racing geometry was the breakthrough that enabled foiling to cover Windsurfing Olympics’ wind range and performance requirements.
Starboard Aluminium masts use proprietary and patent-pending triple I-beam cross-section with a unique profile that pushes more material to the perimeter than any other known masts, providing unprecedented stiffness and performance.
It comes with two new Plus fuselages, the 115cm Plus for upwind downwind racing and the 95cm Plus for higher winds and racing formats with more reaching. The Plus fuselages have an adjustable tail wing angle that allows the rider to increase control in high winds or increase power in light winds.

THE iQFOiL 95 ALUMINUM MAST
Starboard Aluminium masts use proprietary and patent-pending triple I-beam cross-section with a unique profile that pushes more material to the perimeter than any other known masts, providing unprecedented stiffness and performance.
TAIL WING ADJUSTMENT
iQFOiL sets are supplied with six angle spacers (-2° / -1.5° / -1° / -0.5° / 0° / +1°) and with a new 255 tail wing that has -2° built in.
The recommended tail wing angle on the 115 Plus is -2°, so we recommend starting with the 0° spacer. For the 95 Plus the recommend tail angle is -1°, so we recommend starting with the +1°, spacer. You can reduce tail wing angle for more speed and control, or increase for more power.
TWO FUSELAGES
The iQFOiL sets are supplied with both the 115 Plus fuselage and the 95 Plus fuselage. The 115 Plus is recommended for extra power and for maximum upwind/downwind performance. The 95 Plus fuselage is recommended for reaching courses, for long-distance marathons and higher GPS speeds.
ALSO INCLUDED
Other items included in the set: 900 Front Wing, 255 -2° Tail Wing and the Team Bag Size L.
