There are not much fine trimming options on the current wing foil equipments, which can create a huge difference in the performance. Being able to trim finer in these equipments, both the performance and the lifespan of the equipment enlonges. To achieve fine trimming in wing foil equipment, sea creatures such as whales and sea birds will be studied, and their aero- and hydrodynamic advantages in their movement will be copied into the design. The more efficient movement will provide more performance, and also less aging of the equipment. Thanks to two different outhaul lines it is possible to trim sail depth separately. Advanced boom is not fixed to sail permanently, booms’ advanced structure makes it possible to absorb the wind gusts in order to achieve more stability.
