Here are mine, Pics @ http://www.whiskeytownsailing.org/Foils.htm. They are made of 1/8” Aluminum, mounted via 3/8” solid aluminum rod, drilled and tapped for ¼ X 20 Stainless screws. Thin automotive vinyl ‘U channel’ protects the hull. And to respond to Mary’s concerns, no, they don’t make it worse, it makes it a lot better, Hobie 14’s are ‘Pitch-Pole’ machines, and mine has a full battened jib to help it be even more over powered, that and slowing down “Is Not An Option”!!!
