This is the hunt for the world’s top youth sailors. Ready for the thrill? The best seat on the water is with Boatsetter– rent your private boat today!
Who, What, When?
This autumn, join these young individuals in the unpredictable choppy waters of South Florida for back-to-back weekends of intense hydrofoil sailing. The United States Qualifiers will take place after 5 global stops in France, New Zealand, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Austria in Miami’s own Biscayne Bay on November 2-04, 2018. But that’s not all, for the first time ever the Red Bull Foiling Generation World Final will take place in Miami, FL the following weekend of November 9-11, 2018. These young competitive sailors will go through a series of heats on a custom race course, helming identical catamarans with distinct colors until one team comes out victorious and moves on to represent their country in the World Cup the following weekend.
This year’s race consists of two-person teams racing 18’ foot Flying Phantoms, a multihull catamaran capable of reaching high speeds. These Flying Phantoms can go as fast as 35 knots (40mph) and can lift above the water using hydrofoil technology. This is absolutely one of the riskiest and more demanding forms of sailing; it takes unequivocal skill and extreme mental and physical strength to be able to compete at this level. Spectators are guaranteed weekends filled with wipeouts, fast breaks, and comebacks whether you’re watching from land or out at sea.
