Get ready for some real sailing excitement. High speed sailing in an extreme sailing machine.

Nothing ticks off a power boater like passing him in something without a motor. It's possible in the WindRider Rave. The world's first affordable production hydrofoil, the Rave perches WindRider architecture atop three aircraft-grade aluminum wings. At speed the hulls lift off the surface of the water and, zoom, you're off. 60 km ph is nothing to this machine. Nimble performance, bombproof hardware and muscular mylar sails ensure total control.

No longer does sailing demand most of your time, half your money and all of your upper body strength. From head-turning designs to hands-free, “arm chair” controls, WindRider has made sailing simple, affordable and attainable to anyone who wants to ride the wind.

You are cleared for takeoff.

The WindRider Rave blends speed, reliability and practicality. Maneuverability is excellent, and it performs well in light air.

If SPEED is your thing...
You climb into the Rave's cockpit, your feet are on steering pedals. Initially you sail on the hulls. As you accelerate to high enough speeds to generate lift, the Rave raises on the foils and the hulls leave the water's surface. Foil sensors carry the Rave smoothly over choppy waters. Drag disappears and speed dramatically increases. Each outrigger foil has a small elevator that automatically controls its pitch and the Raves height above the water causing the Rave to be unaffected by waves and chop. You steer with your feet, sail controls are close at hand, the jib is self tacking. Now you must concentrate on your flight path. The Rave smoothly rushes towards speeds of up to 60 km ph. Feeling brave? Try out some flying gybes and high-G turns - what a rush!

Introduced in 1998, these hulls are rugged, polyethylene. Foil and sub-frames are built from anodized marine aluminum. Foils and rudder retract to allow beaching or shallow water sailing. Sail material is Mylar, the mainsail is fully battened, hardware is Harken. The mast is stayed and rotating.

The WindRider Rave Hydrofoil was designed with the speed enthusiast in mind. This sailboat is a combination of high-tech innovation and high speed capability. The manufacturer's attention to detail means that you get extreme performance, without extreme costs or maintenance demands. With a central, forward facing tandem cockpit, this boat is solid, but lightweight, weighing only 380 lbs. fully rigged. With three sharp, wing-shaped foils, and as speeds enter double digits, the WindRider Rave's hulls launch from the water's surface. Drag disappears and speed dramatically increases. Once on the foils, Rave flies level and very fast! You will experience high-G turns and soon you'll live for these moments when you can get back in and experience that addicting rush of speed!

The WindRider Rave has the muscle to match it's mission. The foils and sub-frames are built to withstand the load at high speed. Cockpit controls allow you to uphaul the foils and the rudder easily retracts, to allow simple beaching or shallow water sailing. Strong mylar sails hold their shape through years of sailing, and all hardware is dependable Harken equipment.
