The Foiling Press – October 2026 Recap – It’s been a busy couple of months here at Insetta Boatworks! Things have been moving so quickly that we actually missed our September newsletter, but not to worry, we’ve got plenty of exciting updates to make up for it!
October was extremely eventful, with the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the Australia-bound 35IFC hitting the water, new production tooling arriving and being built, and we’ve got three other 35IFC builds progressing through various stages of construction.
There’s a lot to catch up on, so let’s get into it!
Hull #30: Water Tested & Nearly Ready to Fish & Dive!
This Aussie-Edition 35IFC is almost ready to start putting fish in the boat. We’re keeping a close eye on the weather and hope to set up a Bahamas trip on this beauty before she makes the long journey down to Australia.
The boat recently completed its first water test, and we’re happy to report that everything went extremely well. Right out of the gate, we saw 1.8 MPG @ 39 MPH out of her! All systems performed as expected, and the team is now working through the final details before another shakedown run.
A few remaining accessories and finishing touches are being installed, including speargun racks and Seadek. We’ll likely have her back in the water this week to double-check all systems and put some additional hours on the boat before she heads off on her first adventure. Following her Bahamas voyage, Hull #30 will be wrapped up and prepared for shipment to Australia, where she’ll begin her new life as a commercial charter vessel.
As we’ve shared in previous updates, this build has been a unique project for our team, requiring extensive collaboration with Australian surveyors to meet the requirements of the country’s Class 2C commercial vessel category. We’re incredibly excited to see this one reach the finish line and can’t wait to watch her get put to work Down Under! She is most definitely one of the most-loaded 35IFC’s we’ve built to date, sporting a full suite of Garmin Electronics, Twin Mercury V10 350’s, Starlink, Night Vision, Trolling Motor, Folding Tower with full controls and a fiberglass buggy-top, solar panels and more!
Hull #31: Final Assembly Getting Underway
Hull #31 has made some great progress and is getting ready for a major transformation over the coming weeks. Hull pre-rigging is officially complete, and the team is preparing to install the liner, followed by the cap, next week.
Meanwhile, the new console and console liner have been bonded together, marking another step forward as we begin incorporating our updated production tooling into the build process.
Speaking of new tooling, our new hardtop molds have officially arrived and are being prepared for lamination! We’re also expecting the new leaning post mold to arrive next week, continuing the rollout of our updated tooling package.
Between the major components coming together and the introduction of these new molds, there’s a lot to be excited about with this build. Stay tuned as Hull #31 starts looking more and more like a finished 35IFC!
Hull #32: Major Fiberglass Milestones
Hull #32 has been moving quickly through the fiberglass department, with several major components nearing completion. The hull is ready to be released from its mold, while the liner has had all of its compartments bonded in and is also ready for release. The cap is currently having its livewells and anchor locker bonded in, bringing another major component closer to completion.
We’re also getting ready to put some of our new tooling to work! The new console mold has been prepped and is ready for gelcoat next week, along with the console liner.
It’s exciting to see these updated components making their way into production, and we’re looking forward to sharing more as this build progresses toward assembly and rigging.
Hull #33: Another 35IFC Underway!
Another new build has officially entered the production lineup! The bulkheads and stringers for Hull #33 have been completed, released from their molds, and trimmed, marking the first major steps in the construction process.
Meanwhile, production of the smaller fiberglass components is already underway. It’s still early in the process, but we’re excited to have another 35IFC taking shape in the shop. We’ll have plenty more to share on this build in the coming months!
Follow along for daily production updates, behind-the-scenes content, owner adventures, and plenty of on-the-water action.
