The Foiling Week Forum is a unique event that creates opportunity for the best foiling regatta sailors to share knowledge and information with designers/builders and enable technicians and theorists to put into practice their projects, generating an exchange of feedback that accelerates the development process of foiling.
This is why The Foiling Week events are so popular, it is not only racing, not only a show, it is a real moment of growth for the foiling community of 'Thinkers and Tinkerers"
