Hi I am working on building a boat with an efoil mast, so far it is working but the take off and the balance is difficult. I think the boat needs a better design also.Boat on efoil What do you think about such idea? Would it be of interest?
A friend of us build this one some years ago.
And I tested this last year.
I am very much interested in this.
I think by adding a foil in the front and improving the programming it should work very well.
How far did you get with your build?

Hi I have a working prototype with many possible embodiments. I have built a custom board that looks now more like a boat, it works very well. But my solution with the mobile seat can work on any board, provided that the board is big enough and buoyant enough. Now my biggest problem is to add a powertrain of my own ( mast, battery, remote). For now ai am working with Sifly powertrains, and I try to make a partnership with them, but I am looking for my own solution, it would make me less dependant.
You can see my work on Insta @foilcruzer and www.foilcruzer.com
I also am a distributor of efoils www.surfelectric.ro
Also I struggle with solutions for industrial production, of the boat and the seat. The boat can be inflatable or carbon, and the seat can be carbon or EPP. I have to finalize an industrial design and identify possible producers for a first batch. But i am not an engineer and also I have little knowledge about production, so it is very hard. Sifly promised they would find solutions but they are moving very slow, being busy with their own projects
