In storage mode the wings are folded vertically upwards.
This reduces the hull width to just over 1.4 m including the trolley.
The sail, mast and boom can all fit neatly inside the slot between the wings for storage.
Further gains can be made if the boats are parked top to tail.
In Learn mode the wings are locked down to a horizontal position.
This provides the most stable platform for learning to foil as the wing buoyancy is lowest to the water.
It also reduces the need for active balancing to keep the boat upright.
Movement around the boat is also easier on the flat surface.
Learn mode allows the sailor to concentrate on learning the balance and trim positions to initiate and sustain foiling.
Once confident and consistently enjoying the rush of flying, moving to race mode lifts the wings to a 17-degree angle, allowing more advanced foiling techniques such as windward heel.
As the wings are further from the water this induces extra drive from the horizontal foils and increased righting leverage. This increases speed and height upwind significantly.
