Birdyfish

Stickl Sports Camp

With the BIRDYFISH in our fleet of foiling boats, we make foiling possible for experienced dinghy sailors even without a course.

BIRDYFISH

The concept of this monohull foiler is clear: learn to fly quickly and safely, especially without any particular fitness level. With the tried and tested foil configuration, the boat flies stably over the water. "Keep it simple" is another important aspect of the Birdyfish. Robust accessories from Harken, only the necessary adjustment options and no excessive technology down to the last detail - all this contributes to the user's comfort. The sailor on the Birdyfish should quickly enjoy foiling, even in winds of up to 23 knots, and feel safe.
With the gennaker, the boat starts at wind speeds of just under 10 knots and is very manoeuvrable even at 20 knots. It takes no more than an hour from arriving on the beach with the trailer to the start of sailing. The Birdyfish also impresses in terms of comfort and handling. A cool foiler for dinghy sailors who can experience the new dimension of foiling from day one.
Ein Einführungstraining von 3 Stunden:  2 Personen 170 € pro Person. Einzeltraining mit Skipper im Boot 2 Stunden:  170 € .  Mietpreise: 2 Stunden  150 Euro und 1 Tag  250 Euro pro Boot. 

Versatility, comfort and safety

The Birdfish offers a wide range of possible applications.
Simply "sail" in light winds as with any dinghy.
Take off from 10-12 knots of wind without having to adjust the foils. Just sail fast with feeling or better fly.
Crossing new sailing boundaries with the Genacker in medium wind forces with a sporty crew at over 20 knots. 
And above all, the Birdyfish does not require top physical performance. No harness, just ride out like on a dinghy. 

TRY & FLY -our program for test sailors and course participants

Those interested in training and test sailing have several options:

  • Private training 2 hours mainly at weekends on request with trainer in the boat
  • Try & Fly: Intro training 3 hours 2-person crew with coach in the trainer boat and radio training.
  • Fixed hire from 2 hours to 3 days on request (only possible after training or for experienced dinghy sailors)
  • Weekend course 2 days, Saturday and Sunday 3 hours each

Course programme

Every sailor is equipped with helmet and waterproof radio, gets all instructions at the right moment and can implement them immediately. Stickl Sportcamp has been successfully training with radio for 20 years in all sailing courses and this method also guarantees fast learning progress in foiling.

Prerequisites:

Foiling is only recommended for very experienced dinghy sailors who have a feel for tippy planing dinghies and speed. Experienced planing dinghy sailors only need a short introduction on the Birdyfish - then they can set off on their first "free flight"
Anyone who feels unsure and prefers to have an intro session with a trainer should make an appointment, preferably at the weekend. The trainer accompanies the crew on his trainer boat and coaches the sailors by radio.

Contents of an intro session

  • Rigging the boat 
  • Introduction to boat technology. 
  • Dry training of the "moves" on the trampoline
  • Launching beach and panties.
  • Boarding and first start.
  • First foil rides with Genacker

Duration of the session: 3 hours with briefing and preparation on land and water training. 

Beach Hotel Rosa Pool

BEACH HOTEL ROSA - The hotel on the beach for foiling fans.

We run the new Beach Hotel Rosa ourselves and try to offer especially the kiters, surfers, wing surfers and foilers an optimal service directly on the beach next to the sport camp station.

  • This starts with a "power breakfast" before the water session from 7.00 am.
  • The hotel has a changing room and drying room for neos, harnesses and sailing clothing.
  • Kites, wings and surfboards can be stored directly at the hotel at no extra cost.
  • Launch of the shuttle boat at the Rosa jetty

Super comfort for all "board sports" and foilers who can wait for the right wind window on site.

Have breakfast, put on your neos, get your kites, wings and boards from storage and board the shuttle boat directly at the hotel jetty!

And all at extremely favourable prices. In a room facing the rear with breakfast buffet from around €50 per person in the low season.
