King Marine will build the new FlyingNikka in Valencia
Roberto Lacorte’s sailing team, FlyingNikka, and the Design Team led by the Irishman Mark Mills of Studio Mills Design, with the support of Project Manager Micky Costa, are in the final stages of designing the new and super futuristic Foil Mini Maxi FlyingNikka , a 19 meter equipped with the latest generation appendages to navigate in full foiling at more than 40 knots of speed.
This new generation of foil monohulls to be built at the King Marine shipyard in Valencia, the system of plates, hydraulics and mechatronics will be manufactured by Italian companies. It is planned to be launched in 2022.
The ship overtly resembled the AC 75, from the New Zealanders’ bridge design. The concept of the boat in general will be very similar to that of the AC 75, but with a substantial difference: it will be equipped with a classic bulb stem, an element that will partly simplify the design of the foils and in general of the whole boat, in comparison. with the AC 75.
