Luff Support

On Fat Bottom Girl Racing, we’ve always been loyal to Harken. Their equipment has powered our racing for years, and we’ve loved the reliability, performance, and support they bring to sailors everywhere. But sometimes, even the best gear just doesn’t hold up the way you need it to.

After our third cracked headfoil, we knew it was time to try something new. On the racecourse, the headfoil is more than just a piece of hardware—it’s the critical connection that keeps our headsail set, fast, and driving us forward. When it fails, we’re dead in the water.

While digging through the usual sailing rabbit holes, we came across this innovative system on Sailing Anarchy: Headfoil System. It’s a simple, durable alternative that’s been getting good feedback, and we think it’s the right change for Fat Bottom Girl.

The cost? $450. That’s not a crazy number in the sailing world, but like many grassroots racing programs, we rely on the generosity of our community and a little creativity to keep the boat competitive. Instead of quietly covering it ourselves, we decided to crowdsource this upgrade—because Fat Bottom Girl Racing has always been about more than just the crew onboard. She’s about the friends, sailors, and supporters who keep the spirit alive.

We’ve launched a quick campaign on GiveButter to raise the $450 we need for the new headfoil. Every contribution, big or small, helps us keep Fat Bottom Girl on the line and in the fight.
