Bladerider RX:

The RX is the most affordable high performance carbon fibre hydrofoil Moth on the market and is aimed at newcomers that want to get into foiling or Moth racing.

Once owners are familiar with their boat, we highly encourage experimentation of different wand gearing, wand stiffness, battens, foil angles, rake, rig tension, ropes or even vang purchase systems to suit their weight, wind conditions or sailing style. here are no upgrade options with the RX, however customers can easily update their boats with a different sail or mast later on.

Specifications:

  • Hull Design: 3.355m in overall length with a fine bow, straight rocker, flat bottom, square chines and low freeboard. Volume has been kept in the stern for a cleaner lift-off.
  • Hull Construction: Vacuum infused 3k carbon foam sandwich hull with a black gel-coat finish and a aluminium wing cover track. The cockpit grip is an aggressive non-slip material, stuck on for easy replacement later on if necessary.
  • Wing Frame: The new carbon tube wing frame with moulded corners not only helps reduce the overall cost of the boat, but it also improves the durability and stiffness of the whole structure dramatically.
