Looking back on more than 35 years of heritage and pedigree in the marine industry, Gurit has always been at the forefront of innovation, quality and service to the marine industry. Over the course of the years, dozens of award-winning, competition-successful vessels have been engineered by the Company`s dedicated and passionate naval architects and engineers and built from its proven and trusted advanced composite materials.

 

The Foiling Week™ is a unique event that creates an opportunity for the best foiling regatta sailors to share knowledge and information with designers, builders and technicians to accelerate the development process of foiling and to enable growth for the foiling community. Sponsorship of the Foiling Week™ Forum thus is a perfect match for Gurit`s endeavours to create and support top-notch developments in the marine industry.
