Ovington Foiler at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show

The Ovington Foiler proved a hit at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show © Ovington Boats

Wow, that is all we have to say! We expected a lot of interest in the new boat but were knocked out by the level of enthusiasm and number of people that genuinely said β€˜ Yes that is exactly what we have been waiting for’.

We lost count of how many people spoke to us at the show, we even had to get more data sheets printed on Saturday night – something we have never had to do before!

The boat on show will do some more sailing to tweak the rig and get the ventilated rudder foil fitted before it comes up North to go into production.

It is expected that we will have boats available for the summer.

If you would like to register your interest to keep up to date on the final development and production progress drop Dave Hall a line at
