F4 SR Hybrid Mast

by: F4

For nearly two years, the SR Mast Project has been one of the most ambitious
undertakings in F4 history and undoubtedly the largest research and
development investment we hove ever mode.

The potential of hybrid mast architecture was impossible to ignore. The results
seen in high performance Moth racing demonstrated new path forward for
hydrofoil design but weight, safety cost and compliance with world soiling
regulations presented challenges that could not be overlooked. Our mission
became clear: deliver the geometry„ drag reduction. and wetted surface area
advantages of a hybrid mast in the most elegant, practical and accessible
package possible.

The result is the SR.

Built on the some groundbreaking architecture of our race proven 10B Hybrid
Mast the SR represents a fundarnenüal shift in haw hydrofoil interacts with the
water and, more importantly, how a rider interacts with the foil.

While the speed and efficiency going are remarkable, whal truly drove our
excitement throughout development was sornething much harder 10 measure.
