The Vortex Pod Racer is awarded Boat of the Year at World Sailing Awards 2022. The new foiling dinghy has launched a new era of high-performance foiling by making the sport both safe and accessible to a larger audience. Built from carbon fibre, the Vortex Pod Racer is lightweight, stable and requires minimal operational effort from the pilot to get underway and airborne. Sailmon and Vortex Pod Racer are partners thanks to the standard integration of MAX into the boat system.
