The beauty of foiling moths is that they are a development class, which means whilst it must fit in a virtual box, most everything else is free to develop. They get foiling in about 8knts if you are good and light, 10-12 for most others.
If anyone remembers Moths of old, they were still a development class but like most boats based on displacement. Over the years the hulls became thinner and lighter, it was only a matter to time before foils came along and changed the class for good.
Foils have been used in International 14’s for about 10-12 years, restricted to the rudder the main purpose is to keep the bow down and increase waterline length. Very successful in that too.
But the worlds changed now, for good or bad, it’s all about foiling.
Here’s a paddleboard foiling downwind, and some windsurfing too..
