The new foiling Mini Maxi design is underway
County Wicklow designer Mark Mills Design is starting one of the most exciting new design projects outside of the America s Cup.
The vision of his repeat client and Italian Owner of the Year Roberto Lacorte is to be the first to have a Mini-Maxi sized foiler capable of coastal racing and to bring true big boat foiling performance to a wider audience.
This will take the lessons and some of the technology from the America s Cup AC75 foiling monohull and put them together in a more user-friendly and cost-effective package which can sail in a wider range of conditions.
