iFLY stands for uniqueness in design and function. It’s superior Flysafe ® active foil control system autonomously supports the stable horizontal flight position in the longitudinal and lateral direction. The 4 T-Foils do not have to be operated by the sailor during sailing.
Average skilled dinghy or catamaran sailors with some trapeze experience can safely foil with the iFLY15 after only a few hours.
Quick access – immediate sensation of success – steep learning curve.
In the hand of an experienced sailor iFLY15 offers a
whole new sailing experience with previously not experienced speeds and agile maneuverability.
The flight control system, combined with numerous fine-tuned innovations, ensures safe foiling even in strong winds and rough seas..
Stable flight attitude allows pushing hard, so in good condtions, iFLY reaches high boat speed beyond 30 knots in a controllable way.
IFLY15 offers freedom to fly alone or in pairs. Due to the exclusive use of high-tech materials, iFLY15 is extremely rigid and weighs less than 90 kilos ready to sail. With its low weight and its state of the art hydrofoils, it is airborne in winds as low as 2Bft. / 6 Knots.
iFLY15 has a length of only 15 feet, is easy to transport, quick to get ready to sail and can be easily slipped from the beach using a conventional beach trolley.
Its sophisticated design reflects the highest demands on quality and function.
iFLY15 – customer reviews
What a piece of kit! Thanks Michael for letting me go for a sail in Miami. Was positively surprised with the level of detail and building quality of the whole package, especially the foils. Managed to get a 2 hour session without capsizes in 15 knots and chop. Stability foiling both upwind and downwind was surprising considering the sharp choppy conditions. Found that the design has a lot of power but it can efficiently be de-powered (thanks to efficient wing-sail set-up and rake differential)- allowing for sailors with a wide range of weights to be competitive. Betting this class will become a referent in the near future.

To fellow sailors who love the thrill of sailing with speed while maintaining control, this is a brief summary of my experience with the iFly 15 after sailing one for a year. I am just beginning my second season with the boat. BUY ONE! You will be glad you did. If you don't do it now, you will just be another year older, and have missed out on a whole year of fun, by the time you get around to buying one. The boat is all that CEC promises it to be, and more. It is very well-designed, easy to sail, and very durable. I went with the wing sail and the new foresail. I am very glad I did. The wing is very powerful, and in the event of capsize (which is a rare event due to excellent control) prevents the boat from turning turtle. The foresail extends the boat's range of foiling capability down to wind speeds of about 7 kts for a sailor weighing about 95 kilos. That adds a lot of days of foiling to my sailing season.

..The flight controls work perfectly. Flight is very stable. The controls are also every easy to adjust, although that should not be necessary since the boat arrives perfectly set up at the factory. Durability is excellent. My first time out I experienced a very hard hit on the tip of my starboard main foil when I hit something in shallow water near my launch area. I had visions of severe damage and a huge hole in the hull. To my surprise, there was no damage at all to the hull or the box for the dagger board. The dagger board box is designed to take a lot of punishment. The leading edge of the foil was damaged and the lower 15 cm of the dagger board had a crack on the leading edge. Upon close inspection, the damage was so slight that 30 min of work with some epoxy and carbon fiber was all it took to make things as good as new. Full disclosure: I am not associated in any way with CEC, and I am receiving no consideration from CEC for posting this review. (Review part 2)

It's a huge innovation in foiling boats. The flight control system allows you to concentrate on sailing. That is just great. The best foiling boat on the market: high performance, great quality and just fun.

Hi, I have had a red iFly15 with the wing sail since September 2019. The boat makes an extremely thoughtful and professional impression, like a carbon fiber racing car. The first test sail trips were very good, more extensive trips have to wait for the post-Corona period. I expect a lot from the additional light wind sail. I wish you success! (Translated by Google)
