New Project : Isotop Composite 6.50 DSS prototype - A monocoque side foil

First sea trial on 13 May in La Rochelle ( France ) for sailboat 6.50 meters from Isotop company in which it applied the DSS, or Dynamic Stability System. 
  
The principle is to support a lateral foil and recover stability soon as advance more the boat goes faster, it works!
 
 
The first output 12 knots gave "the feeling of having 20 knots" when steaming in downwind helmsman John Saucet dixit. 

Always in fashion research and development, the prototype is not yet graduated to Class Mini 6.50 but already has the number 823 and intends to go compared to other boats of the same size to validate the concept.
