OFFICIAL iQFOiL YOUTH EQUIPMENT
Fin or foil, from 5 knots to 35 knots, the iQFOiL Youth package delivers the ultimate in windsurfing racing performance with just one board, one foil, one fin, one sail.
The iQFOiL Youth package includes a Starboard iQFOiL 85 Starlite Carbon board, the Severne HyperGlide Olympic rig in 8.0 (with the GO Boom 186-236), and the iQFOiL Carbon foil by Starboard Foils.
For the 2020 season, clinics and demo events were organised in conjunction with the official iQFOiL championships as well as special dedicated events all around the world. Senior/Youth/Junior sailors and Coaches took part, demoed the equipment, and learned the basics of foiling.
The iQFOiL Youth & Junior Class application has been approved by World Sailing. Official World and Continental Championships had been run in 2021. An overwhelming attendance of 245 competitors from 24 countries participated in the first-ever iQFOiL Worlds in Lake Garda.

SEVERNE HGO
OLYMPIC RACING
The Severne HGO is a first of its kind. A foil racing sail built especially for the official iQFOiL class and will be the official sail for the 2024 Paris Olympic games. HGO is based on Severne’s already successful foil racing platform with multiple titles under its belt.
In 2019 World Sailing called for Sea Trials to select the equipment for the next Olympic Games in Paris’24. When this opportunity presented itself, Gonzalo Costa Hoevel(PWA Foil world champion) took the lead of the project together with Ben Severne in creating the ultimate foil racing sail. Countless hours of R&D and brainstorming resulted in a sail that not only will you faster on the racecourse but also deliver top speeds.
The HGO focuses on speed and ease of handle with a reduced luff curve and re-distribution of shaping. The control gained from these design features allows for any foil racing newcomer to get to competition level speeds in no time.

SEAMLESS HEAD PANEL
This high abrasion area is made from only 1 panel and does not carry any exposed seams, preventing any potential weak point in this area. As a result, seam creep and seam-related failure have been eliminated.
DIRECT DRIVE TENTIONERS
The DDT 4 and DDT 5 tensioners directly connect the tube batten to the leech of the sail. This new design eliminates the heavy section of tube that is needed for the standard batten tensioner and being smaller, has superior aerodynamics. It is used on all lower tension battens in the OVERDRIVE M2 and the MACH 2.
LEECH REINFORCEMENT
Leech area at batten tips carry extra reinforcement for extended durability
REFINED LEADING EDGE
Tuned entry with a finer leading edge rotation for reduced drag.
OPTIMIZED AERODYNAMICS
By aligning the battens with the direction of airflow drag has been reduced. Clean panels with minimal seams further improve the aerodynamics.
HIGH PERFORMANCE MONOFILM
Custom high end monofilm construction to maximise performance and minimize weight. Construction mimics the exact sail prototypes that were tested by our racers.
BOOM HEIGHT REFERENCE
Boom height gauge for ease of reference.
CAM AREA REINFORCEMENT
Area around all of the cams have extra reinforcement for mast sleeve protection.
ACTION WINDOW PANEL
Crucial to big fleet starts, slalom racing and close contact. Keep a close eye on your competitors and your own positioning during racing.
OPTIONAL CLEW POSITIONS
POSITION 1:
Use this position for the lighter wind days. This clew position gives you more power and upwind angle.
POSITION 2:
This setting allows the sail to open up and breathe more. It gives you more speed and more control.
EASY FIX REMOVABLE OUTHAUL HOOK
The HGO carries the removable outhaul hook in the top position. This can easily be moved to the lower clew using the SEVERNE HEX-4 batten tensioner.
THERMOFORMED TACK FAIRING
Protects your board from impact and neatly covers the foot detailing. It incorporates the rope stash pocket for easy storage of your downhaul rope.
MOLDED SOFT EDGE
With recessed grooving, covering any vulnerable stitching the moulded soft edge encloses the hard edge long the foot of the sail and protects the stitching from wear along the board non-skid.
3&4 ROLLER TACK PULLEY
Roller tack pulleys are matched to the sails downhaul requirements and aligned for friction free downhauling and threading ease. Rig your sails with the Severne Hardware Division extensions for function and simplicity.
SEAMLESS FOOT CONSTRUCTION
A single panel in the foot area with hidden load patches and zero exposed stitching eliminates seam abrasion and seam creep in this high load area. Maximum durability and minimum weight.
SEAM PROTECTION PANELS
Panels reinforced with kevlar strips protect the foot area seems from abrasion from the board when the sail is in the water or when launching.

SEVERNE APEX MAST
SEVERNE GO BOOM 186-236
SEVERNE BASE
SEVERNE RACE EXTENSION HD
The Severne Apex mast comes with SlipLok technology. Alternating texture patterns in the boom area increases friction for less slippage. This eliminates the need to overtighten the boom, decreasing stresses on the mast.
Using the Severne boom with the Lockjaw front end, you only need to apply minimum force for it to sit perfectly on the mast without sliding.
You should not apply more than 10-15kg of pressure on the end of the lever for it to close. This can be done with two fingers.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
Overtightening the boom head can cause damage to your mast.

iQFOiL YOUTH FOIL
STARBOARD FOILS iQFOiL CARBON
Components:
900 front wing | 255 tail wing with -2 degree | 115 Plus fuselage | 95cm iQFOiL mast
Back to back 2017/2018 World Champion and Vice World Champion, making it the most successful racing foil in windsurfing to date: Starboard’s Race foil started the iQFOiL project and it is the foil that made foiling in the Olympics a possibility.
Its innovative racing geometry was the breakthrough that enabled foiling to cover Windsurfing Olympics’ wind range and performance requirements. Compared to the original Race foil, the iQFOiL foil set has been upgraded with a stiffer UHM Carbon mast and a 900 front wing for extra light-wind performance.
It comes with a 115cm Plus fuselage. The Plus fuselages have an adjustable tail wing angle that allows the rider to increase control in high winds or increase power in light winds.
| COMPONENTS | FITTINGS |
|---|---|
| Front Wing: 900 | Front Wing: Saddle system |
| Tail Wing: 255 -2° | Tail Wing: Adjustable saddle system |
| Fuselage: 95 Plus and 115 Plus | Fuselage: Starboard Universal Connect |
| Mast: iQFoil Carbon 95cm | Mast: Deep Tuttle |
THE iQFOiL 95 CARBON MAST
The iQFOiL 95cm Carbon mast is an extra-stiff version of the standard 95cm Carbon mast, built with 44 layers of ultra-high modulus pre-preg carbon fibre: for more performance, more control and a wider wind range.
TAIL WING ADJUSTMENT
iQFOiL sets are supplied with six angle spacers (-2° / -1.5° / -1° / -0.5° / +0.5° / 0° / +1°) and with a new 255 tail wing that has -2° built in.
The recommended tail wing angle on the 115 Plus is -2°, so we recommend starting with the 0° spacer. For the 95 Plus the recommend tail angle is -1°, so we recommend starting with the +1°, spacer. You can reduce tail wing angle for more speed and control, or increase for more power.
FUSELAGE
115+ fuselage
The iQFOiL sets are supplied with the 115 Plus fuselage.
ALSO INCLUDED
Other items included in the set: 900 Front Wing, 255 -2° Tail Wing and the Team Bag Size L.
Environmental Initiatives Associated with iQFOiL Equipment
The Carbon Footprint of a full, Senior iQFOiL setup is 721.31 kg CO2e. For each set sold we plant 22 mangroves with Worldview International Foundation in Myanmar. Over the next 25 years, CO2 sequestered by these trees will offset emissions 10 times over.
Starboard's Plastic Offset Program also collects 11.4kg of plastic from the shorelines of Thailand & Myanmar for every board sold. This is the weight of a senior iQFOiL board in beach and ocean plastic.
