iFLY15 – Tenron: The flying high-tech catamaran

The world premiere of Tenron in a foiling racing boat.

The iFLY15 – Tenron is the first flying boat where high-performance meets unprecedented robustness for sailing adventures and for pushing hard in rough conditions.

The iFLY15 foiling catamaran was originally designed by a team with an aerospace engineering background. For 7 years, iFLY has been using advanced technology to deliver high-performance while flying above the water. The most important feature is iFLY’s extremely stable flight attitude, which also provides a fast learning curve and makes it easier to start foiling. The unique high-end stabilisation system supports a smoother ride – key not only for high-performance sailing but also for enjoyable cruising while being fully airborne.

The team of engineers of the iFLY15 always looks for ways to innovate. Thus, it was only a natural fit for the engineers of the iFLY15 to team-up with Isomatex, the most innovative company in the New Materials sector. Its product Tenron, also used in the aerospace industry and now available as an option for the hulls of the iFLY15, was exactly what the iFLY15 team was looking for: offering its customers a way to experience the thrill of the existing iFLY15 but in a different environment.

The iFLY15 – Tenron is the result of 1 year of development. Like any iFLY it is born for high-performance. But thanks to its hulls of the new high-tech material of unmatched robustness, it is also perfect for adventure sailing.

To prove its sea worthiness, two passionate sailors went for a great sailing adventure aboard the iFLY15 – Tenron up the rough Norwegian coast with its thousands of rocks and reefs. More than 500 miles from Oslo to the Lofotes Islands, without assistance, staying overnight in the wild and carrying the boat to remote beaches … It was a true milestone in sailing for such a foiling catamaran.

 

The hulls of the iFLY15 – Tenron are recyclable (very different than conventional high-tech boat building materials), bringing adventure sailing and nature together in harmony.

To underscore the positive impact, this iFLY15 – Tenron sails under the name of Geir, the Great Auk, who according to the legend, blessed and healed the seas.

The iFLY15 – Tenron is adventure sailing at its best.
