Volga Hydrofoils Messageboard

Hi there, Together with a couple of Dutch enthousiast people we are restoring 6 Volgas I will give my webadress and upload a nice story written in IHS International Hydrofoil Society. The question is: We need a lot of spare parts. All kinds. Does anybody have spare parts left or a boat that he or sh...

Hi Daan, http://www.foils.org/volga-jan.pdf Here is a rather exact follow up for your question. Regards, Mark [ quote="Daan"]Hey everybody, Who can tell me the max rpm of the original propeller of the volga ( see picture of prop)? I think there are a couple of volga's around that use the o...

A very nice way the fly your boat as cheap as possible over a long riverdistance. As you know there is a ...

Since there is lots of debri in Holland floating around I am wondering if the boat is suitable for this region. Maybe PETER VENEMA kn...

Does anybody has had a high speed underwater collision with a foreign object such as a big piece of wood or something else like that? Will the whole wing come of? I read many stories of beautiful clean lakes and rivers. But hey man... this is Amsterdam. Can the boat be safely used on water with fore...
