After an intensive year of research, development and countless hours of testing, SAIL INNOVATION is proud to launch the Phantom Formula 18.

The Phantom project was born in order to design the finest F18. World Champions Olivier Backes and Arnaud Jarlegan worked in close collaboration with renowned designer Martin Fischer.

The goal was to produce the most accomplished Formula 18, fast in all conditions and easy to sail.

During the last 12 months of testing, the entire team has been fully dedicated to fine tuning every detail in order to get a fully optimized, reliable and user friendly boat.

The boat has been tested in normal course racing and long distance races by highly skilled sailors such as: Olivier Backes, Xavier Revil and Jean Christophe Mourniac. All have provided very accurate feedback to evolve the performance of the boat. Additionally, weekend club sailors have also been involved in this testing campaign in order to ensure the boat is easy to use.

The Phantom Formula 18 is a unique high-end product in terms of design, construction and finishing quality.

All hull components – hull shell, bulkheads, sub-decks - are built under vacuum which improves the structural properties and makes the boat stiffer and more durable.

As a standard the Phantom offers hollow full carbon autoclaved daggerboards and rudders. This top of the range technology provides the best weight / strength / stiffness ratio.

The Phantom is now available in Limited Edition. In order to maintain the highest quality and the value of the boat on the second hand market, only 25 Phantom will be produced in 2012.

The Phantom is available Ex factory in a plain finish (without paint or gelcoat) in accordance with the common F18 class rules.

Price 18650 Euros ex tax, ex factory (Europe) with a full set of SAIL INNOVATION sails.
