My first Footy just arrived!
In November I went in Genoa port and I sow a dozen of RC footy in regatta. Incredible boats !
A couple of months ago I went to Federico Steri Footy garage and I sow this incredible number of boats developed in three years of regattas
Here Steri Footy S1 (sponsor Preti, Gold Cup 2013) and S2

Here the first S3 prototype

Hi Super K,
Very impressive boat.
What is the bulb made of?
What is the area of the sail you are using on the first sailing?
Excellent weight outcome at only 470g.
Regards

Hi P&C the boat is nice and fast 
Regarding your questions:
The bulb is made with lead and inox soul, all covered with fiber
The sail you see in the picture is unarig 17 dm2
Pls note the 470gr weight is referred to the complete hull without batteries, servos and receiver. Full weight is 570gr. The shell of the hull is only 38gr

Regattas in Genoa
Three Steri S3 upwind
Start
From sx in the picture Steri S3, SliM, two Steri S2
A carbon fiber Steri S3 ahead the fiberglass prototype
The competitors… high level projects. Every saturday a dozen of footy boats in Genoa port
This is a footy based on Tyler’s SliM a diagonal footy very thin and fast. In heavy conditions is very steady and reactive in downwind
Steri S2 with traditional rig mainsail and jib. A last year project wider than the others but fast in many wind conditions
From sx S2, S3, S1 e SliM.
Audizio’s last footy project with traditional rig. A very fast and light footy boat always in progress
RIGS
In the meanwhile new rigs are available for testing. The boat is multirole and fast in any condition. Close hauled with unarig is very good and the angle too. Unarig mast is higher than traditional sails and running with fresh breeze is less easier but generally speaking the footy Steri S3 is very fast
Rig n 3 strong breeze. Mast not so high and long boom
Rig n 6 in strong wind quite usual in Genoa port. Mast proportionally higher and boom shorter. The boat is able to manage strong gust
