The Befoil 16 CARBON is a full-carbon hybrid catamaran, capable of sailing both as a foiler and in F16 mode by simply replacing the foils with classic daggerboards. High-performance, light-weight (135 kg in foiler configuration, 130 kg in F16) and versatile, it can be used for both competition and leisure. Designed and assembled in France, the Befoil 16 CARBON combines performance and accessibility, thanks to its great stability and versatility.
