What this video covers

A representative of Moss Seilforening evaluates the Birdyfish foiling dinghy as a potential club boat for retaining young sailors who lose interest in conventional racing or slow sailing.▶ 0:29 The Birdyfish is a two-person foiling dinghy built from fiberglass rather than carbon, making it more affordable and durable than high-end foiling designs.▶ 0:38 Birdyfish offers three models; the one shown is the largest, with the smallest comparable in size to an Optimist.▶ 1:51 The club representative's priority is not competitive racing but giving members — young and experienced alike — access to foiling as a skill.▶ 0:29 He notes that SeilNorge as a whole has been slow to adopt foiling, and sees club-level investment in accessible foiling boats as a way to close that gap.▶ 1:39 The conversation acknowledges rapid development in the foiling market and the possibility that more capable designs will arrive within a year, but the preference is for a club-friendly boat over the most extreme option available.▶ 1:42
