BeFoil Carbon 16!

The Befoil 16 Carbon marks a new entry in the F16 and foiling catamaran market!


At its core, designer Antoine Meunier achieved a platform that delivers safe, reliable high performance with modularity that allows it to be converted from a full-foiling catamaran to a F16 Class racer in just minutes!  It is literally two boats in one!
