Hey guys ! So here is our second Fri-Foiler prototype. First of all we welded a frame so that the foils and the rudder are correctly aligned.

Then we hot wired cut the different slices of our hull in XPS 300. It took us two days and it’s sooo cool to see that wire get red and just slice the foam like butter

After gluing everything we fiberglassed the whole hull. Check out our timelapse in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-GQO-_rfbI

We decided to make new foils as well. Old ones we too flexible… We put them in a vacuum bag with preimpregnated carbon and they sure are stiff now !
