The Windrider Rave represents a radical departure from traditional recreational sailing, designed specifically to bring the exhilaration of hydrofoiling to the masses. Launched in the late 1990s as a collaboration between Wilderness Systems and Dr. Sam Bradfield of Hydrosail, the Rave was a pioneer in using mechanical surface-sensing "wands" to provide stable, automatic altitude control long before the advent of electronic flight controllers seen in modern America’s Cup vessels. Built with the same rugged, rotomolded polyethylene technology as its siblings, the Windrider 16 and 17, the Rave was engineered to survive the high stresses of foiling while remaining affordable and accessible to the weekend enthusiast.
