SEVERNE HGO IQ FOIL Olympic V2 2024 8.0m2 i 9.0m2

The Hyper Glide GO is a first of its kind. It is an offshoot of our successful Hyper Glide and Hyper Glide 2 sail, which has been dominant in foil racing with Gonzalo Costa Hoevel winning the 2018 PWA World Title.

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 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 make you faster on the racecourse, but also deliver faster top speeds on reaching angles which also will make it the sail of choice for new PWA slalom racing format.

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.
