Her history
A flying catamaran
The most recent addition to the Sails of Change fleet, the TF35 is a latest generation flying catamaran. A worthy successor to the famous D35 launched in 2004 by the Swiss yard Décision, this 35-foot multihull is equipped with a unique computer-controlled automatic foil system enabling her to take off both upwind and downwind. Designed around her foils, the TF35 is intended to be both accessible and airborne; a compromise made possible with an on-board inertial guidance system. This technology enables the boat’s flight to be controlled electronically.
A new era
With this new catamaran equipped with T-shaped appendages (rudders and foils), the circuit is entering a whole new era: airborne, faster and more spectacular since the TF35 is capable of sailing at three times the wind speed.
