Swift Hydrofoils
Swift Hydrofoils – Performance You Can Trust
Damic Design specialises in the design and manufacture of Moths and hydrofoils for the International Moth Class. While Moth sailing is our passion, our primary goal is to offer the fastest, most developed, and best-built boats and foils on the market.
Our involvement in the class began in 2004, immersing us in the world of Moth hydrofoiling technology from its early days. This period was both experimental and educational, allowing us to test, learn, and refine our design ideas. Among the foils developed during this phase, the Macita, winner of the 2013 World Championship, was a landmark success — paving the way for the foils we produce today.
The Swift range has since evolved into a comprehensive line of hydrofoils, each designed with different lift and control characteristics to optimise performance across a wide range of sailing conditions. The range now includes:
Two rudder hydrofoils: Small and Medium
Three main foils: Super Small, Small, and Large
Ultra-thin High Modulus Carbon/Steel verticals
The Swift Hydrofoil range is now in its third generation of refinement, with continuous improvements tested on the water before entering production. This approach ensures that every product delivers measurable performance gains without the need to upgrade your entire platform.
While the Swift foils are designed for use with our Swift Moths, they are also compatible with Bieker, Exocet, and Mach 2 Moths, offering a fast and reliable upgrade option. Our foils have consistently performed at the highest level — placing 7 of the top 10 at the Perth Worlds, winning the 2023 NSW and Australian Nationals, and achieving 2nd place at the Waymouth Pre-Worlds regatta.
All Damic Design foils are manufactured in Australia using solid carbon fibre from market-leading supplier Toray. While this increases production costs, it ensures superior quality, performance, and durability in arguably the most critical component of the boat.
We are also proud to be the only foil manufacturer entirely focused on foil development, directly involved in the design, testing, and manufacture of every product. Each foil that leaves our workshop is hand-finished by a designer and Moth sailor who truly understands what is required to make it go fast.
Swift Mainfoils
-

Swift Super Small (v2)
Our latest hydrofoil, specifically designed for light sailors or as a strong wind foil. It features an innovative tip and bulb design that are optimised for reducing drag when going fast.
$3,350-$4,350 AUD + GST
-

Swift Small (v3)
The ultimate all round medium wind foil, that has been winning regattas since the initial release. It is known for having great control features with a very wide performance window.
$3,350-$4,350 AUD + GST
-

Swift Large (v2)
Excellent high lift foil that can be carried up range thanks to its thin section and very efficient profile. This foil is a proven race winner and a must for heavy sailors or light wind venues.
$3,350-$4,350 AUD + GST
Swift Rudderfoils
-

Swift Small Rudder (v1)
The Small rudder is based on the same theory as our Medium. It is a high aspect low drag shape designed to minimise drag and maximise lift offering great glide though ability for ease of foil tacking. Unlike other small rudders, ours still makes foil tacking a breeze while being tiny in size and super fast.
$2,200 AUD + GST
-

Swift Medium Rudder (v3)
Our Medium rudder is a well proven design that is a result of many years of development. Its short cord makes it very low drag however it generates plenty of lift thanks to its high aspect ratio. This foil will help make your foiling tacks easy and repeatable.
$2,200 AUD + GST
Swift Verticals
-

Swift Carbon/Steel Rudder Vertical (v2)
The v2 is our latest design to date. It further improves on the original v1/v2 designs with changes in the bottom 1/4 of the section. It is designed to be on the absolute limit of the materials to insure the ultimate performance from reduction in drag coefficient. It also includes a number of design features that combat the “all too common” rudder wash out problems. Made from high tensile stainless steel with high modulus pre/preg carbon top section, these foils are thermally stable and ultra stiff.
-

Swift Carbon/Steel Main Vertical (v2)
Latest generation of steel hybrid Moth verticals is here. This foil is a result of ongoing development post 2025 Worlds which offers significant reduction in drag by simply being smaller. Made from solid High Modulus carbon fibre top section and machined high tensile stainless steel bottom section, this is a must have item if you want to go fast!
Extras
-

AOA Templates
These angle of attack measuring templates, are designed to fit our range of Swift main and rudder hydrofoils.
With the help of this device, you will be able to determine the all important foil angle relative to waterline.
