[edit on Wikidata]

The Flying Phantom Essentiel, (English: Essential), is a French hydrofoil catamaran sailing dinghy that was designed by Gonzalo Redondo and Martin Fischer and first built in 2017.[1][2][3]

The Flying Phantom Essentiel is intended as an easier-to-sail hydrofoil for beginners than the Flying Phantom Elite. The company described the design goals as "an 18' all around boat easy to use, able to foil in a wide range of conditions and attract new people to foiling. This foil configuration makes the boat to be more user friendly and less physically demanding for the crew."[1][2][3]

Production

The design was built by Phantom International in Dinard, France starting 2017, but the company ceased operations that same year and it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4]

Design

The Flying Phantom Essentiel is a racing sailboat, built predominantly of an epoxy/glass sandwich. It has a fractional sloop rig, with an aluminum mast. The hulls have reverse-raked stems, vertical transoms, transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and retractable hydrofoils. It displaces 375 lb (170 kg).[1][2][3]

The dual rudders are L-shaped, while the dual hydrofoil daggerboards are L-shaped. All are made from pre-preg, autoclave-cured carbon fibre.[1][2][3]

The boat's mainsail and jib are made from polyester laminate, while the gennaker is polyester.[2]
