LAUNCHED Gonet Monofoiler

This one-of foiling monohull has been developed over the course of the last two years by sailor, Eric Monnin

in collaboration with designer and boat builder Damian Weiss, and was built at the Weiss Yachts yard with

the support of a number of other builders and designers. She was launched and has been tested away from

prying eyes in central Switzerland, and is shortly to move to Lake Geneva, for final tests before taking on the

famous Bol d’Or and other Swiss lake classic events. Despite some similarities, she was designed before the

America’s Cup Defender, Emirates Team New Zealand announced their transition to foiling monohulls. These

foils are set up as a triangle with the lower, innermost edge being fed through a case to allow the foil to

extend down and outwards when lowered and up and in when lifted, but with the shape providing rigidity in

the system, reducing the point loading stresses usually seen on a more usual foil. During the first training

sessions, the boat proved impressive and was able to foil steadily at a speed of over 25 knots.

NEW Viko S35

Small, afordable Polish cruiser-racers seems to be appearing on the market on a remarkably regular basis at

the moment. This Viko S35 follows the success of a smaller Viko S30 and looks set to provide a speedy little

(35ft) family racer/cruiser for astonishingly little money. She was designed by Italian Sergio Lupoli, who has

been behind a number of cruiser-racers and was also a popular Quarter Tonner designer. The S35 has a

modern hull with plenty of beam carried aft – though the lack of a chine possibly points to Lupoli’s

background in IOR yachts. Down below there is the option of two or three cabins and at this price that is

rather a lot of boat for your money.
