Posted by Foiling Week, which hosts events dedicated to foiling boats, their sailors, designers and manufacturers, will be coming to the USA in 2025 for Foiling Week Pensacola on February 24-March 2 in Pensacola, FL. The event coincides with Pensacola Mardi Gras festivities – with over 100,000 people expected to be in attendance.
For the 12th edition of Foiling Week, anticipated participation is from Moth, WASZP, A-Class Catamaran, BirdyFish, and Nacra 15 FCS. Other boards, mono and multihull foiling classes will be announced soon. For the Moth, WASZP, and Nacra 15 FCS, the regatta will be their North American Championship.
Sailing races will take place on the Bay, while boards will foil the waves of the Gulf of Mexico in front of the Pensacola Beach Hilton Hotel. On-water organization will be managed by Foiling Week Principal Race Officer Tim Hancock and supported by both the Pensacola Yacht Club and Pensacola Beach Yacht Club.
“Foiling sailors and enthusiasts alike will get to experience what we already know,” noted NYYC American Magic AC Team Skipper and President of Sailing Operations Terry Hutchinson. “Pensacola Bay is a great spot to develop sailboats of all types. American Magic looks forward to supporting this event and watching this development.”
The Public Village at Pensacola’s Maritime Park will give the opportunity to watch close racing, visit an expo showcasing the latest in high-tech nautical equipment and apparel, and listen to discussions on the evolution of foiling. Sustainability, inclusivity, clinics, youth and women’s coaching and technical workshops will be the highlights of the program.
“Foiling isn’t just about the excitement of competition; it’s a symbol of innovation that leads to progress in maritime transport, ecological ventures and our beautiful and very strong bond with the sea,” observed Luca Rizzotti, Foiling Week organizer.
Throughout the event, enthusiasts will have the opportunity to try out boards and boats on the water under the supervision of experienced instructors.
In keeping with the event’s tradition of dedicating each edition to a socially relevant theme, Foiling Week Pensacola 2025 will be inspired by #regeneration, a global approach to sustainability that aims to end the climate crisis by 2030.
Foiling Week Pensacola is supported by: City of Pensacola – Florida, Escambia County, Pensacola Yacht Club, Pensacola Beach Yacht Club, and Sail Pensacola which promotes competitive sailing, technology, and economic development to Pensacola Bay.
