Harken, a global leader in the manufacture of deck hardware and sailing systems for sailing and motor yachts, has announced a new three-year partnership agreement with Foiling Week, becoming Racing Partner of the event starting with its 13th edition, scheduled to take place from June 27th to July 5th at Fraglia Vela Malcesine on Italy’s Lake Garda. Founded in 2014, Foiling Week has become the leading international event dedicated to foiling innovation, where technology, research and performance come together to contribute to the development of sailing. These values closely reflect Harken’s long-standing commitment to innovation and to developing increasingly efficient, reliable and accessible solutions for sailors worldwide.

“We are proud to support Foiling Week, an event that perfectly embodies the spirit of innovation that has always driven Harken,” said Emanuele Cecchini, Commercial Director of Harken Italy. “For us, it represents a valuable opportunity to meet athletes from around the world and share knowledge, expertise and experience. We believe this direct exchange creates opportunities for mutual growth and brings value to the entire foiling community.”

Throughout the event, Harken will be present at the Foiling Week Village at Fraglia Vela Malcesine, serving as a meeting point for athletes, teams and enthusiasts passionate about high-performance sailing and technological innovation.

In keeping with the practical and experimental spirit that characterises Foiling Week, Harken will offer athletes the opportunity to test its products directly on the water. Block kits will be available for installation on participating boats and can be used during training sessions and on-water activities, allowing sailors to evaluate performance in real operating conditions.

Harken will showcase a selection of solutions specifically designed for foiling classes, with particular focus on block systems engineered to deliver maximum efficiency, reliability and load control. Participants will have the opportunity to discover some of Harken’s most renowned product families, including Fly, Carbo, Zircon and Black Magic, developed to meet the demanding requirements of high-performance sailing and foiling applications.

Visitors to the Village will also be able to explore a selection of products from Spinlock, the leading sailing and marine safety equipment brand, for which Harken is the exclusive distributor in the Italian market.

An opportunity for dialogue, experimentation and shared growth, this partnership further demonstrates the value of collaboration between industry and sport in driving innovation and shaping the future of modern sailing.
