VAYU + GERMANY SAIL GP
VAYU partners with the Germany SailGP Team as the Official Wing and Foil Partner, bringing our expertise in wing and foil design to the world’s most exciting form of high-performance sailing. This SailGP partnership connects the precision of elite racing with the freedom of wingfoiling, showing how innovation on the racecourse can elevate flight for everyone.
VAYU + GERMAN SAIL GP
A Collaboration Driven by Innovation
As the Official Wing and Foil Partner, VAYU develops and supplies custom wings and foils for the team’s training and development sessions.
Every insight from SailGP’s demanding conditions — wind, speed, load and lift — drives our ongoing hydrofoil development and foiling technology, helping us design equipment that performs at the highest level yet feels intuitive for everyday use.
“SailGP is where the future of sailing is written,” says Sergio Penzo, Creative Director at VAYU. “It is a living laboratory for performance and creativity. Wingfoiling is the Jedermann version of SailGP — it carries the same magic, but within everyone’s reach.”
“VAYU approaches design the way we approach racing — with curiosity and courage,” says Erik Heil, Skipper of the Germany SailGP Team. “Together we are exploring new shapes, materials and ways to fly faster and more efficiently.”

Engineering the Future of Flight
Through this collaboration, VAYU combines its experience in advanced materials, aerodynamics and rider testing with the cutting-edge environment of SailGP.
By developing prototypes alongside the team, VAYU refines every aspect of control, balance and lift.
The insights gained shape the performance gear trusted by riders around the world.
“Performance is a universal language,” says Philip Horn, CEO of VAYU. “Both teams chase the same sensation — lift, control and freedom above the surface.”
From close-to-shore stadium racing to open-ocean adventure, the goal remains the same: to make flight on water effortless, efficient and full of emotion.
