ASSASSIN HOLROYD FOILS AVAILABLE

Upgrade your moth with the all new Assassin Holroyd foils. Now in full production and available for delivery April onwards. After an intensive testing and trial period we are now confident in the design and extremely happy with the numbers they are pulling. Chris Rast (USA) was the first to try them on his X8 Bladerider, with the Assassin foils fitting straight into the boat, he responded with the following feedback:

"Performance wise the foils were very impressive. Because of the long vertical on the rudder I was able to ride high and fast. With my standard bladerider I was as fast and often faster than many of the Mach2s!!! Upwind and Downwind...."

We currently are trialing a rudder on a Mach2. The foils are versitile enough that they will fit onto almost any moth.

With their unique bulbless design, and absolute mininium section thickness they have proven to be extremely fast in the light to moderate, regulary hitting 27kts. The rudder is a one piece, with the horizontal foil in front to reduce ventilation, and the vertical tapered in both directions, making for a finer faster foil(even fits in a Bladerider box!) Comes complete with a Ronstan custom made tapered tiller extension, the battlestick, with a comfy hand grip and the worm drive etc.

The Main foil, also tapered in both directions, is two piece with a advanced flap hinge that doesn't rely on Sika to hold it together.

All current Assassin owners will get the new foils as a free upgrade. Foils will be delivered in Feb/March. Orders are being taken now for extra sets, available for delivery April onwards. Get in now to avoid disappointment.

New year, new shed, new boats on time....

Assassin has started the new year off with a bang, and a few new year resolutions! All our new orders will be on time! It has been a big issue with boats going out the door late and we have made sure that won't happen again. We thank all our customers who have had to wait longer than expected for their patience and understanding. Last year was tough, not quite knowing how things were going to pan out and several issues that had to be addressed. Overall we are very happy with the direction that the Assassin is going in and we are looking forward to a very fulfilling and sucessful year. We might even have time to get some sailing in ourselves...

Starting the year off in a new factory Assassin now has a dedicated Moth Building facility of over 600sq/m, a huge relief after our much smaller temporary factory. Being well setup we are much more efficient and moving forward in leaps and bounds. Our development programme is constantly testing new ideas and refining the boat, getting feedback from our professional sailors. We now have blistering speed in the light with our new low drag Holroyd foils without losing our top end speed, several boats are currently flirting with 30knots - but no proof yet! Won't be far away...

Some old fella cruising around in his kids Assassin

Darren snuck out in Sams Assassin to do some more on the water testing of the foils. Not having been sailing for several months he still found the boat easy to handle and was cruising around the harbour at an average of 19kts in around 8-10kts of wind strength. Even with the breakers rolling in the entrance and the harbour quite sloppy he had no dramas. Assassins so easy to sail anyone can do it..

Peter Burlings First Moth Sail

Top NZ 49er sailor Peter Burling took the Assassin out on Tauranga Harbour for his first introduction to moth sailing. Being a natural he was up and off. I think he's caught the foiling bug, his dad may have to share his Assassin...
