Has anyone experimented with hydrofoil attachments on a GP14?
Hey all! I’m newly hooked on GP14 sailing, and I can’t help but wonder about some innovations in speed and performance. Recently, I stumbled upon videos of dinghies with hydrofoil attachments, and it got me thinking-has anyone here tried rigging hydrofoils on their GP14? 🤔
Given the GP14’s versatility and solid build, could hydrofoils feasibly give it a significant performance boost? Would this be viable or just a fun weekend experiment? Also, what kind of modifications would it take without compromising the boat’s structural integrity and classic feel?
Any insights or experiences would be awesome. I’m curious to see if anyone has tried pushing the boundaries of this classic design with modern tech. Appreciate any advice or photos you might have!
