The new DNA F1x A-class catamaran is unveiled!

DNA is proud to unveil the new  F1x A-cat . In essence, it is a comprehensive update to the original F1 A-cat introduced in the spring of 2016.  Cost - Platform ready to go €25000 +VAT.

So, two years have passed since the introduction of the F1 and this is the first update. What remains and what has changed? Mischa, PJ and DNA lead engineer Niels went the extra mile. It is still the F1 as you know it, with the same hull shape aimed for light air & floating performance and aero optimization when foiling. But we have changed and added a few go-faster bits – more than just swapping foils alone.. The moulds have been slightly reworked and in short, these are the changes made: 

>> Magic wheel sheeting below deck 

>> Internal traveller system in aft beam  

>> New Z-foil design 

>> Changed Z-foil position and trunk entry with easy rake readout

>> New rudder design 

>> Changed rudder position 

>> Rudder rake adjustment while sailing 

>> Boomless pinhead sail design from Mischa Sails 

>> Larger deck area for crossing   

The F1x´s changes are explained in more detail on the following pages. Sailing images will be provided when the weather clears up – photo sessions have thus far been cancelled due to rain or fog.

Magic wheel sheeting

Located below the semi-rigid carbon trampoline is a clever new wheel sheeting system which replaces the traditional main sheet system. Why a wheel? This allows lesser sheeting loads and gives a much faster response. The sheet rolls on a wheel and is covered to prevent the sheet from falling off in case of a slacked line. It is a very clean system and requires less physical effort, which means lesser chance of mistakes throughout an already exhausting racing day, and the advantage of a quicker response needs no further explanation. 

Internal traveller 

The F1’s aft beam, which originally featured a nicely recessed traveller track, has been extensively reworked; with the F1x the aft beam features a wholly integrated traveller car inside the carbon beam. There are multiple advantages over a normal traveller track: it weighs less, there is -again- lesser windage, it runs smoother, it is fully optimized for a boomless sail and that sheet is no longer in your way as it fully runs under the trampoline.

We have been running a foil improvement program for more than a year now, as we started trying amended foil shapes well ahead of the 2017 Worlds. We found it very hard to make an allround improvement to the original Z-foil design which we developed in 2013 and introduced the following year. We then decided to call for help and have collaborated with Martin Fischer to create the next level in Z-foil design. Martin needs no further introduction we believe, and the good thing is - with most respect- that he is a real performance freak in the best sense of the word. Nothing but the absolute best would do, which meant that reviewing our real world data from testing our modified foil shapes and Martins computational calculations resulted in more than a dozen new shapes. Each was reviewed until, after months, we arrived at the final new shape. 

The one goal throughout foil development has been very straightforward; to make foiling easier overall and to achieve more flying time (upwind). This should ease foiling in rougher conditions which ultimately results in higher average speeds around the course, and secondly it makes entrance into the class for newbies easier too. We started off by saying that we would be happy to sacrifice some top end speed for a more forgiving design – however the foil professor came up with a design that is easier to foil, more forgiving overall AND has a higher top end. We expect to break the 30 knots speed barrier pretty soon, so as the season progresses and we learn more, it will be fun doing some new speed runs versus the MOTH’s again.   

When you look at the pictures, you will note more curves in the daggerboards. The Z-foils are fully class compliant and have been positioned slightly further forward. The foil has a higher aspect ratio and features some pretty ‘kinky’ intelligent stuff, featuring various profiles throughout the design.  

The rudders are a new design too. They are now positioned slightly canted, and the winglet is canted even further for additional heave stability. We maintain using L-rudders (so no T-rudders); these could be placed further outwards and are then not in the wake of the daggerboards providing a better steer and more efficient lift. The new rudders are located further aft to create a larger span, which aids control when foiling generally and eases upwind foiling specifically. 

In our opinion, L-rudders are the optimal rudder for performance and a positive side effect is that it is easy to shake off weed while sailing. Weed is pretty common in Dutch summers and we just do not want to make a full stop when you feel some weed dragging – just pop a hull, shake it loose and off you go again [at warp speed]. Small matter it may be, but details do matter.

With the new F1x, the rake of both daggerboards and rudders can be adjusted while sailing. Last year, Mischa trialed various prototype rudder rake systems for convenience and durability and we have now come up with a well working, lightweight and clean solution.

Although the rudder rake is synchronized as standard, the rudder rake system has already been separated in a port and starboard system to -eventually- offer rake differential at the rudders. Customer boats will not feature this ex-factory as yet, although DNA team riders will feature such to test the structural integrity of the various masts currently available during the 2018 season. Rudder differential will increase righting moment and thus speed, however loads on the rig go up too and we do not want to see customer masts failing.

Rudder feeling 

Achieving a light, direct and balanced feel on the rudder is a DNA trademark and has been a high priority for years, and it has now improved even further. It is balanced such that the pressure on the helm slightly increases when foiling high, providing more feedback and control. 

Sail changes 

DNA successfully introduced the decksweeper sail setup with a wishbone boom. Initially, we were skeptical about a boomless decksweeper sail, however with the latest pinhead sail designs from Mischa Sails and our new traveler setup we no longer require a boom to achieve the best performance. This saves weight and costs. 

Retrofitting 

Changes between the F1 and F1x are few, but are nonetheless significant due to a few changes in the platform. Retrofitting new features as rudder rake adjustment, the internal beam traveler and the magic wheel sheeting would involve a mighty lot of work.  Due to the changed positioning and shape, the F1x Z-foils will not fit in the 2016-2017 F1 daggerboard cases – however, with ample interest from existing F1 A-cat customers, we will create a new Z-foil which takes lessons learned from the updated F1x, and make that suitable for use in the F1 without any platform modification whatsoever.   

The new F1x L-rudders can be used in the original F1 rudder cassettes, requiring just some sanding for a snug fit.

We hope to deliver in our quest for improved handling, more speed and more control while going fast while maintaining good looks. The last bit of good news is that we have been able to lose some weight – total weights are very close to the magic 75 kg again. 

We remain affirmed in our belief that customers should be able to sail, foil and race within 30 minutes after taking delivery of their A-cat.  Each DNA F1x comes fully prepared and tuned  (tuned to Mischa spec) so you can go sailing straight away. Due to the added complexities, the platform cost has gone up to €25000 excluding taxes.

We hope you like it – let us know your comments at  [email protected] please!

f1x a cat foiling catamaran

DNA F1 A-CLASS RACING CAT

In close collaboration with DNA Performance Sailing, the F1 has been developed late 2015 - early 2016. Building on the 2010 DNA class A catamaran, which served as a platform for many developments for hydro-foiling appendages, rigs and lots more, the F1 provides a state of the art basis for new developments to test and implement.

The class A catamaran is a one person racing catamaran designed within a strict set of dimensions, weight and features such as top loading dagger boards for beaching, brought forward by the International A-Division Catamaran Association.

Named coolest sailboat ever built  by the catsailingnews.com blog, this boat boast a range of fresh ideas for performance and ergonomics. 

At this performance level, aerodynamics play a defining role. The wing deck leading edge is shaped to assure a clean entry of air flow into the "deck sweeper" sail. In order to reduce aero drag, the rudder cross bar integrates with the wing deck and the transoms are narrowed down. As a result, the F1 is the fastest upwind sailing A-cat ever.

Further novelties include a solid sheet trampoline, injection molded rudder cassette plates, synchronized foil rake control from the trapeze, improved ergonomics and lots more.

Only a bit of breeze is needed to lift the F1 its foils, both reaching and upwind. The series started out highly successful with the 2016 World Championship with Mischa Heemskerk in its very first race.

@media screen and (min-width: 70em){.css-1c47y9x{color:var(--chakra-colors-blue\.brand);}} A Cat Class buy/sell second hands, ads and prices

Launched in 1950, this is a class that aims for the best performance in a single-handed sport catamaran. Often made of carbon, now equipped with foils, the A-Class is the most technologically advanced class for solo racing. It is a very dynamic class and the level of the racers is very (very) high.

The Classe a would be the catamaran equivalent of the foiling Moth : light, technological, extreme, fast and bringing together the best in the discipline.

A Cat Class presentation

The model A Cat Class has 2 differents versions : Classe A classic , Classe A foiler .

The A class catamaran, a unique spirit

The A-Class is a single-handed class, the freedom given by the gauge has allowed it to be always at the forefront of technological innovations. The result is a sports catamaran with a magnificent look, impressive and performing around 3 buoys. This open gauge allowed her to be one of the first light sail series to be equipped with foil. The A-Class now flies above the water.

Class A program

It is a boat intended more for regatta sailors than for sailors looking for "calm" rides. There are many shipyards producing A Class boats, including Marstrom, Bimare , Nacra, Addiction, Askell and DNA.

Second hand Class A catamaran

The second-hand A Classes remain quite expensive for recent productions, however, if one is looking for a catamaran for sailing more oriented towards leisure than performance: the bill will be much less expensive.

The entry prices for Class A boats are very low: sometimes 1000$ for old boats, on the other hand, recent Class A boats, those which can perform in championships, are traded for 20000$.

The foils are controlled independently, dynamically and precisely on both sides by the flySafe® foil control system . This enables high performance sailing through stable flight. The unique foil control system of IFLY15 is a 7 years proven system developed by CEC Catamarans.        Know More >>>

IFLY MAIN FOIL DIFFERENTIAL TECHNOLOGY

MDT FOIL CONTROL – iFLY rake control The sophisticated main foil differential is an active flight assistance – The Rake is adjustable while sailing. Advanced Rake Control is for the experienced, performance-oriented Catamaran sailors / pro sailors and is a feature on the iFLY RAZZOR Pro.      Know More >>>

Innovations and more   >>>

In the hand of the experienced sailor, iFLY15 is a high-performance racing machine. STABILITY IS NOT CONTRADICTORY TO HIGH PERFORMANCE OR SPORTINESS , on the contrary, it is a prerequisite for safe reaching and maintaining constant high speeds. Stable flight allows the sailor to concentrate on the course, on the wind, as well as on opponents and strategy – rather than permanently getting distracted by working on the foiling balance.

EARLY TAKE OFF IN WINDS AS LOW AS 2Bft. / 6 KNOTS , by combining the innovative “KickOff” foil control with a trampoline that provides boost and with the latest generation of rig and foils.

BOAT SPEEDS FAR BEYOND DOUBLE WIND SPEED CAN BE ACHIEVED . Enjoy high speed foiling with top speeds far beyond 25 knots – in ideal conditions up to 30 knots.

CONTROLLED FOILING EVEN IN THE UPPER WIND RANGE BEYOND 22KNOTS OF WIND SPEED – supported by the new FlySafe® Automatic Foil System.

FOILING PLEASURE AND PERFORMANCE ALSO IN CHOPPY WATERS

FREEDOM ! FLYING SOLO OR OPTIONAL WITH CREW . You have the choice. No manhunt for crew. But still enjoy the opportunity of taking a friend or family to fly with you. Up to 140kg of crew weight. (To keep the boat and especially the mast light, we specified the iFLY15 components intentionally not for double trapeze.)

NO HOISTING AND LOWERING OF DAGGERBOARDS while sailing. (Only for beaching or in shallow waters.)

FREEDOM TO SWITCH BETWEEN FLYING MODE OR SAILING AS A CONVENTIONAL CATAMARAN (with at least the leeward hull touching the water). Within seconds iFLY15 can be switched to Non-Flight mode, even while sailing. In that mode, iFLY15 will not take off, but the foils will still create lift and give an extra agile sailing behavior, which is on the same time very stable as rudder Foils will avoid pitch poling. Non-Flight mode is providing additional security in extreme high wind speeds. It is also useful for less experienced sailors or in all situations, where taking off is undesirable (e.g. in the harbor or while towing…).

EASY TO LEARN FLYING BY AVERAGE SKILLED AND TRAINED SAILORS

EASY BEACHING AND SLIPPING , as simple as with any conventional beach catamaran by using a standard catamaran beach trolley. Foils remain flat under the keel, with the daggerboard lifted as on a conventional catamaran.

SIMPLE TO DISASSEMBLE PLATFORM . Width of 2.50m is also road legal in most countries for horizontal transport without disassembly.

DAGGERBOARDS CAN BE PLUGGED IN FROM ABOVE and Foils securely anchored from below with one central screw.

FAST SET-UP OF THE iFLY15 FROM ROAD TRAILER TO SAILING . Simple rigging the mast, no genacker boom, no foresail, no spi.

SILENT AND CALM PLANING ABOVE THE WAVES . Flight height of up to 90cm, avoiding even high waves below.

EASY TO FOIL THE JIBE (without landing). Stable maneuvers are made easier by the fact that the four T-Foils always remain in the water.

« INTERNATIONAL FORMULA 15 FOIL » Class Association. The new development class for FOILING, SINGLE HANDED on MULTIHULLS. Multi manufacturer class in the tradition of a Formula18, A-Class or international Moth. Enables large regatta fields and evolution of the boats, following the technical progress (which is especially essential in the case in Foiling). Strict regulations to avoid uncontrolled exaggerated development.

Design from the past: F4 Foiling Catamaran

Ultra-modern, lighter = better, craftsmanship, f4: design from the past.

DNA built the F4 foiling catamaran with love and by hand craftsmanship on their own yard in Lelystad, the Netherlands. The F4 is no longer in production, but we would like to tell you about the characteristics of this foiling race multihull.

The F4 was an exciting 14m long carbon foiling catamaran. Designed and built in such a way that you could push the limits in long-distance racing. The boat is the result of an extensive collaboration between Shannon Falcone (two-time America’s Cup winner), Tommy Loughborough (professional sailor) and the and the engineers/ the design team of DNA, like the well-known Dutch industrial design engineer Rudo Enserink . For 8 months, their joint focus was on design production and testing.

The F4 was specially designed for the Redbull documentary “Flying on water”. Jimmy Spithill , director of America’s Cup Team Oracle USA, foiled the first F4 from New York to Bermuda.

We build your new foiling boat!

Some specific features of the F4:

  • The hydrofoils guarantee stable foiling, even at speeds of 35+ knots
  • State-of-the-art carbon pre-preg and Nomex construction
  • The design of the cockpit is entirely focused on racing
  • Aerodynamic profile

The aim of the F4 was to achieve speeds with a 46-foot yacht, which are normally achieved by Maxis. The performance had to be at least impressive and we succeeded!

The F4 in a spectacular Redbull documentary

The first F4 foiling multihull played an important role in two documentaries. Red Bull foiling catamaran: Red Bull devised the mission ‘Flying on Water’, with sailing Jimmy Spithill as offshore foiling skipper, from New York to Bermuda. Check out the Red Bull microsite .

And: also watch this spectacular documentary about the F4: Shannon Falcone invites his friend and snowboard superstar Travis Rice, together with him and Thomas Loughborough, to sail the F4 from Bermuda to Antiqua. Experience this F4 adventure!
