If you’ve ever watched kids sail a NIKKI, you know that getting them back to shore can be the hardest part—they simply don't want to come in! At the recent Ronstan Junior Foiling Cup, young sailors were instantly hooked by the sheer thrill of foiling, experiencing the sensation of flight in a safe, approachable way.
Designed by Skeeta Watersports specifically for younger sailors, the NIKKI is a perfectly balanced dinghy that offers precise control and exceptional stability. Its intuitive setup means kids spend more time foiling and less time fussing, making sailing accessible for both newcomers and experienced young sailors.
Junior foiling appeals strongly because it offers an unmatched sailing experience—fast, dynamic, and genuinely exciting. Foiling captures the imagination of young sailors by adding an entirely new dimension to their time on the water. It not only makes sailing more thrilling but also enhances essential skills, including balance, coordination, precise steering, sail trimming, and tactical decision-making.
The NIKKI has already proven itself as a successful training platform. Four consecutive Australian Optimist National Champions honed their skills foiling on NIKKIs, demonstrating the dinghy's effectiveness across sailing disciplines. With foiling likely on track for Olympic inclusion by Brisbane 2032, today's young sailors have an exciting pathway toward future success.
Ronstan proudly supports Skeeta in bringing foiling within reach of more kids. The NIKKI isn't just another dinghy—it's a genuine game-changer, delivering pure fun and real skill progression. Give kids the tiller of a NIKKI, and you might just have trouble getting it back!
