Product description

The WASZP project was conceived in 2010 and put into production in June 2016 by Andrew McDougall, designer of the world beating Mach 2 foiling Moth.

The Moth is a racing boat with very few rules and therefore has developed into a boat that is beautiful to sail on the water, but not the answer to everyone’s requirements for a sailing dinghy.

The concept was for a foiling platform that enables closer one-design racing, less complex rigging, affordable to all sailors while being accessible to a wider range of ages and weights. Creating a brand and culture that takes sailing into the mainstream.

Product highlights

Affordability – The most affordable foiling dinghy at $USD11,900

Accessibility – Simple ordering system and agent support in over 30 countries

Durability – Boat has been engineered to take the strain of learning right through to world class racing.

Learning platform – Forgiving learning platform, most sailors with a moderate amount of dinghy experience will foil in their first session.

Closest foiling racing in the world – The one-design nature provides the closest and most exciting foiling racing in the world!

Product Features

Easy set-up

Simple to rig – plug and play! Can be rigged and on the water in 10-15minutes

Simple control system and layout

We have taken the best bits from a Moth and simplified them to enable an enjoyable un-complicated experience for all sailors. There are enough controls to keep the sailing entertaining. Tuning is important and there is enough to play with for the experienced sailor.

Safety while foiling

The foil design was to create a fast, stable platform with good performance. The foils are not sharp and provide the safest experience for those learning to foil for the first time. Easy to right the boat after a capsize. - No side stays to run into.

Waszp presentation

The Waszp is a small dinghy inspired by the Moth Foiler . Simpler, less expensive, the Waszp aims to erase the exclusive character of its cousin. Thus, the boat is of simpler design, the Waszp is built with simpler materials (fiberglass, aluminum). The boat is more robust, less expensive: more accessible.

Of course, these compromises make the Waszp a slightly less powerful boat, but that is relative when you consider that it is a foiler that can exceed 20 knots on the water if it is well handled.

The Waszp class is growing fast because it fills a gap, in fact, to foil solo on a boat allowing high level racing, there are hardly any other boats than the Moth and the A-Class, which are rather elitist. The Waszp therefore offers a programme that opens up possibilities for many sailors.

In terms of size, the Waszp is quite forgiving and will allow airborne sailing for male and female coxswains from 50 to 90 kg.

Waszp second hand market

The boat is rare on the second hand market but with a little patience, it is possible to find a second hand Waszp. The new boat costs 15000€, the second hand ones can be found from 8000€.

World’s coolest yachts: The Waszp

• May 4, 2023

We ask top sailors and marine industry gurus to choose the coolest and most innovative yachts of our times. Hattie Rogers nominates the Waszp

“I’d like to be able to say the AC40 [Women’s and Youth America’s Cup foiler] because hopefully – fingers crossed! – I will be in it and it’s definitely the coolest boat that I’ve ever seen,” says Rogers. “But the Waszp dinghy is what’s got me into foiling and has got a lot of other younger sailors into foiling.”

The Waszp is a one-design foiling dinghy designed to be more accessible to a wider range of sailors than development classes like the International Moth . It is raced in over 20 countries and has two smaller rig options for youth crews from just 40kg.

“It’s just awesome coming off the line flying with 80 other boats,” says Rogers.”The Waszp is a really good boat for learning to foil in. It is a bit tricky sometimes for the girls in bigger wind, because it is a fairly deep sail – they’re 8.2m2 and quite powerful. But it is a really good boat and has set me up well for other classes. There’s a lot of lessons I’ve learned from the Waszp that, if I’d tried to learn in the Moth, I probably would have broken a lot!”

The foiling sensation of the WASZP!

The WASZP is the most eagerly awaited and talked about one-design dinghy in generations. Various sailors during test flights have managed to foil after only a few minutes in the boat and come away enthusing about how much fun they had.

The WASZP is a one-design foiling dinghy. Every boat is produced to the same tight specification, meaning it’s down to the sailor to squeeze the speed out of the boat. Designed to minimise barriers to foiling, anyone from teenager to adult, male or female, can jump in a boat and have fun.

Currently the UK are fortunate to boast the WASZP 2021 European Champion, Matt Beck and 2019 World Champion Rory Hunter. With the class growing weekly, there is a wealth of knowledge across the country to help get you started. Why not take a look at the current worldwide rankings on  Racehub ?

New junior foiler WASZP_X

Related Articles

NEW Product – The WASZP_X – The Ultimate Junior Foiler

Launch – VIDEO:

On the back of the extremely successful 2021 European WASZP Games and return to international competition, we are proud to announce the WASZP_X will join the swarm and be part of the WASZP family.

The WASZP_X is the latest product out of the WASZP factory. This boat will provide the start point of the most affordable and accessible foiling pathway in the sport, minimising the total customer lifetime spend over the sailing journey. The class will use the same hull as the WASZP with the following differences:

• 5.8m sail to suit smaller sailors – (recommended weight 30-45kgs)
• 6.9m sail to progress in the class – (recommended weight 45-65kgs)
• Lightweight rig for easy righting and stability when sailing
• Curved wingbars increase stability and make capsize recovery easier for smaller sailors
• Easy and affordable transition through the pathway to the senior WASZP Class.
• Recommended minimum sailor weight of 30-35kg
• Recommended age 11-14+
• Added safety features to create a forgiving environment for kids to learn to foil.

Existing Infrastructure

Using all the current WASZP Racehub infrastructure, the WASZP_X will be able to mobilise a global racing circuit extremely quickly. We intend to include the WASZP_X class at the 2022 International WASZP Games in (Lake Garda, Italy) as its own class. After this event, we aim to include the WASZP_X at future major events as a stand-alone event prior to the Senior WASZP Class 8.2m. We have many coaches in the WASZP class already, and the opportunity for them to coach the juniors before their own regatta means we keep more coaches actively racing and motivated.

What won’t change is the senior WASZP Class. Kids will be able to transition into the WASZP senior class. If they need to use a 6.9m rig to bridge that process, initially they will be permitted to race with the 6.9m rig within the senior class with standard WASZP class wingbar configuration. We hope this encourages smooth transition and allows smaller senior sailors to have a 6.9m in their kit bag for those windy training days and mixed local (tier 3 & 4) events.

With agent support in more than 30 countries, the global reach of the WASZP brand is incredible. All our agents are set up and ready to connect the dots on this foiling pathway. Along with this, we now complete the circle from youth to senior sailing on one platform – creating an economical overall lifetime spend for a WASZP sailor.

Support – Coaching & Family-friendly atmosphere

The WASZP_X will grow into a go-to class for junior sailors as federations worldwide begin to adopt foiling as an alternative pathway. We have already seen coaching & program accessibility is increasing. This allows families to securely invest in a competitive foiling platform without the lifetime expense seen in other classes.

The WASZP_X is the perfect way for a family to get into foiling, with different rig sizes catering for all ages, boys & girls equally, it allows parents to go sailing with their kids utilising the same core platform.

Testing & Development

The WASZP_X has been tested by kids for kids. The platform has spent the last three months down at Indented Head (near Melbourne, Australia), being put through rigorous testing by talented Opti brothers Callum, aged 11 and Aidan, aged 13. Aidan is the current Australian Optimist Champion and jumped into the WASZP_X and completed a foiling gybe the 2 nd time on the boat. The feedback has been incredible and has helped us shape the product, complementing what we already know works. 

As seen with the Simmons family, Callum (11) can sail on the 5.8m rig, then swap over with Aidan (13), either using the 5.8m or 6.9m rigs. Then when all is said and done, why can’t mum and dad have a go? Nothing is stopping this from being used across the family – however, good luck getting the boat off the kids 😉.

Callum expresses “I love swapping in and out of the boat with Aidan. On the water, we just swap in and out from our Opti, while dad is in a kayak”.

For Aidan, it is all about developing his skills and progressing through the WASZP class alongside his traditional pathway ambitions “I would love to go to the Olympics, but being able to sail the WASZP and progress through to top-level racing around the world looks so much fun”.

Progression and Partnerships

We envisage the global partnerships in place with SailGP, and the INSPIRE youth racing circuit will be the starting point to get more kids foiling earlier. This will lift the overall standard by the time they reach their late teens and move into senior sailing on the WASZP 8.2. 

Link to SailGP INSPIRE Program for more information www.waszp.com/sailgp

The WASZP lifestyle and culture is what ties this together – a genuine sailing home for anyone wanting to join the fun of the WASZP. WASZP has proved time and time again to be an innovator in how the class is managed and events are created. WASZP forms one of the most exciting global event circuits, and we cannot wait to add the WASZP_X to the family!

Seller's Description

Excellent condition foiling Waszp built 2016 for sale 8.2M rig. Extra parts including internal tramp. Located in west Michigan near Muskegon.

Equipment: Excellent condition foiling Waszp built 2016 for sale 8.2M rig. Extra parts including internal tramp. Includes cover, dolly, spare.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
