Introduction

Quicksilver Foils is the new name in high performance sailboat rudders and centreboards.  The business was set up by Alan Powell in September 1997. Alan races International Canoes and has represented Great Britain at five World Championships.

He has a successful history of designing and building boats and foils at international level over twenty five years and has a fully equipped workshop for construction in wood and composite materials.

In order to produce top quality foils at reasonable prices a number of manufacturing jigs and systems have been developed. These enable foils to be made accurately to standard patterns or to entirely individual designs in a variety of materials. Split moulds are being developed for a number of one-design classes.
