One of the best discussions we have had on The Swarm! Foiling Week founder Luca Rizzotti joins Marc Ablett & Martin Evans to discuss the unprecedented success of the WASZP Class at Foiling Week, selling out the entry quota in an hour.

We also look back over the history of Foiling Week, the big moments and how WASZP and Foiling Week have been able to collaborate to create a successful staple on the annual events calendar.

We look at the NEW Foiling Week event scheduled for Pensacola USA in 2025 and discuss with Luca what the new AC40 circuit is going to look like in 2025, listen to this one because it is great news for WASZP Sailors and the pathway!
