You do not need to be a sailor to come to Foiling Week. Every edition, the venue opens up to anyone who wants to get closer to the sport, on their own terms, whatever their starting point. Watch the fleet fly past from a spectator boat. Go behind the scenes of the boats and the equipment. Get into an AC40’s simulator. Or… step onto a foiling hull with an instructor and find out what this technology actually feels like from the inside.pa
Built around the technology that lifted sailing off the water
Foiling is the system of underwater wings that lifts a boat or board completely clear of the surface, eliminating drag and reaching speeds conventional sailing cannot touch.
It is the most significant shift in sailing technology in a generation, and Foiling Week was created to give it a home. Racing, trials, expos and community, in one place.

PUBLIC TRIALS
Where the foiling world shows up
The first and only global event committed to foiling boats and boards, and to their sailors, designers, manufacturers and followers.
Many sailors began here before becoming Olympic, America’s Cup, and SailGP champions. Foiling Week features public trials of boats and equipment, technical forums, and an expo. Evening entertainment completes an unforgettable experience for the international Foiling Community.
SINCE 2014
Twelve editions in Italy. Events in Australia, the United States and Saudi Arabia. Over the years, Foiling Week has grown into the sport’s most consistent gathering point: athletes, manufacturers, designers, press, sponsors and a community of enthusiasts who follow foiling wherever it goes.
A World Sailing Special Event
A status granted to a small number of events worldwide by the federation that governs the sport at Olympic level. For foiling, it marks Foiling Week as the sport’s flagship gathering: what the Grand Slam tournaments are to tennis.
NOT JUST A RACE
Racing is at the centre of Foiling Week, but the event is built around much more: on-water trials open to beginners, an expo area for new products and technologies, forums where industry professionals share knowledge, social initiatives tied to causes the community and us care about, and an entertainment programme that makes the week as enjoyable off the water as on it.
The programme on shore
A hundred-plus Moths on the start line was one side of Foiling Week. The other was the conversation that started dockside and carried on over dinner: a journalist comparing notes with a naval architect, flap angles discussed with an Olympic medallist over a local wine tasting.
Foiling people, it turns out, know how to have a good time.
OUR VALUES
WHAT WE STAND FOR
TECHNOLOGY
The pursuit of advanced materials and high-precision engineering mirrors the evolution of automotive R&D — where lightweight construction, structural integrity and control integration define the next frontier of performance.
PERFORMANCE
Intelligent control architectures and real-time feedback systems translate into dynamic balance, stability and acceleration once considered unattainable, even on compact foiling platforms.
SUSTAINABILITY
From design to deployment, every initiative within the We Are Foiling ecosystem embraces sustainability as a driving principle — promoting innovation that respects both performance and the planet.
Foling Week is part of
