Quant23 – Scow Foiler
The Quant23 is a versatile sports boat designed by QuantBoats AG in Switzerland and Welbourn Design in the UK. It measures 7.08 meters in length and has a beam of 1.96 meters with foils up. The boat's displacement is 300 kg, with a lead bulb weighing 60 kg. It can accommodate a crew of up to 260 kg. The draft is 1.75 meters, and the sail area is 24 m² for the main/jib and approximately 45 m² for the gennaker. Constructed with composite materials, including epoxy-glass and carbon fiber, the mast is a high-modulus carbon tube. The boat is trailable and can be moored or stored in a dinghy park.
The Quant23 features a futuristic Scow hull design that enhances stability and prevents nosedives. It is equipped with retractable Q-Foils, allowing for various sailing modes: displacement, planing, semi-foiling, and full-foiling. The Q-Foil technology ensures stable foiling, semi-foiling capabilities, and excellent performance in light winds.
The Quant23 can foil steadily from 6 knots of wind and achieve speeds up to 27 knots. It is designed for both racing and leisure, offering a user-friendly foiling experience. The boat can be sailed with or without foils and accommodates variable crew sizes.
The boat is designed for ease of use, with features like a hand-stepped mast, a lifting keel, and easy slipping without a crane. It can be moored in various settings, and the rudder blade remains attached for convenience. The boat is easy to clean and maintain, with sails that can remain on the boom/forestay.
The Quant23 combines the characteristics of a high-performance foiler and a sports boat, making it accessible to amateur sailors. It offers a unique sailing experience by transforming 8 knots of true wind into 20 knots of apparent wind, achieving speeds over 18 knots.

QUANTBOATS created a new generation of sportsboats The Quant23 – the class of its own! Although the ability to foil is the outstanding feature of the Q23, the boat has many other talents. Thanks to the fully retractable main-foils, it is also one of the fastest 7m sports boats. The Q23 thus offers the opportunity to cultivate one's own abilities as a pleasure cruiser and to discover the world of foiling with one and the same boat. That is unique!
