Evolution of Sailing with Foiling Boats
Sailing has evolved drastically over the past decade with foiling boats, enabling higher speeds and more exciting races. Unlike traditional sailboat races, which were long and less visually engaging, races in the SIRGP league now happen on shorter courses, lasting around 10 to 12 minutes. With boats reaching speeds close to 100 kilometers per hour, the races are intense, close-quartered, and visually captivating for viewers of all levels, including non-sailors.
