Tornado catamaran maestro Roland Gaebler has already secured the backing to build a fleet of what promise to be the fastest ever two-person production sailboats… and he’s also getting ready to launch a new international circuit on which to play with them
No sooner have we been introduced to the 9m SuperFoiler trimaran from Morrelli & Melvin (last month) than Tornado Olympic medallist Roland Gaebler is launching a slightly smaller two-hulled 7.62m design developed in partnership with German chemicals conglomerate Evonik – who are backing the project financially as well as supplying the advanced composite materials that will be used to build the boats.
While the SuperFoiler is being developed in California for a grand prix circuit in the Southern Hemisphere, Gaebler’s plans initially focus on Europe prior to the pursuit of more distant markets. But the truth is that both circuits can easily be adapted to demand, the boats themselves being so easily transported that either series could quickly be exported to any area of the world where there is strong interest. For Evonik the project offers the opportunity to showcase its refined composite materials in a new market and with a spectacular platform; for Gaebler this is a chance to use the lessons learnt by the early-starters in the field, the VX40, M32, AC45 and GC32, but to take the concept forward another stage with a design approach that starts with the foils and ends with the hulls, not the other way around. However, for Gaebler the success of this programme will hinge as much upon event planning as on the boats, although this new foiler cat promises to be faster for its size than anything before it. This is why, having watched the AC World Series struggle with breeze – too much or not enough – he has incorporated several rig options, with total sail areas ranging from 28 to 90m2
depending on the conditions on the day.
Much of the technical preparation for the new SpeedFoiler was carried out under the supervision of widely respected multihull and foil expert

With a light platform and two trapezes, it will be instructive to see how competitive the SpeedFoiler is against her larger foiling cousins. Foils are redefining all the ‘old rules’ of performance
Martin Fischer and so the science and delivery of the new boat should be faultless. Meanwhile, an aggressive sailplan of jib, mainsail and large A-sails should see two trapezing crew screaming for the Valium when the breeze is up – given the level of performance that Fischer is predicting. With the smallest rig allowing racing in 30kt+ of wind, we could also finally see a high-speed lightweight foiler become acquainted with Mr Big Chop… the results of which interface should prove illuminating. SpeedFoiler, SuperFoiler… the hull is so passé, n’est-ce pas?

A new proto from Lombard. Scow influence, but is the scow itself feeling a bit yesterday? The prototype is building in southern California with production starting in November Light new DSS design with canting keel and single, central daggerboard
A custom/series build IRC racer with good interior – already winning in South America Stripped-out carbon IRC racer for Japan… the carbon IRC break-point creeps ever lower Pretty new racer-cruiser features unusually high level of structural optimisation
When we’re ready... The new Campagne de Franceis later than planned but she will be a beauty 2017
Will this be the first ever custom ORC racer... very interesting, Mr Bond A new custom IRC racer from the designer of the super-successful MC34 At least three teams now have their Cup challengers underway – in whole or in part A new cruiser-racer suitable for IRC and ORC competition… and very stylish holidays The new Interlodge Vwill debut at Key West 2017… and yet more TP52s are on the way Rather elegant gentleman’s (large) dayracer with plenty of loud pedal

‘Robertissima’ Tomasini will have a glamour new boat ready for the 2016 Maxi Worlds
An unprecedented effort has gone into both the look and the weight concentration of the latest WallyCento. The hull shell and deck are now complete with the primary structure going in (carefully). Expect a serious flyer
Designer Brett Bakewell-White is busy busy, but submerged under a tedious pile of NDAs And another new solo trimaran for 2016 Vendée Globe favourite Armel Le Cléac’h Séb Josse’s new solo multihull will start life just outside the Ultim Class length limit Latest Wally features novel interior styling with WallyCento-style performance Very little from the Reichel/Pugh office ever goes slowly…or looks old Original 1936 Frank Paine design Sea trials are now well underway Original 1937 Thore Holm design
This Thore Holm design has been 75 years in gestation… but now she is underway Big, comfy, but will be very fast for a boat of this type. Superyacht trophies await
