I know that dave carlson has an older Cal Fuller on foils. I think it is a Cal Fuller. Lars Guck was also playing with foils for an A at the time that they were banned. As far as the loophole is concerned, everyone should have seen this coming because lifting foils were not banned. Hydrofoils were. The reason for the banana foils coming into existence was simply to have a lifting foil that did not exceed the B-Max of the class rules whether it was on A's, C's or Orma 60's. Canting daggerboards had limited lift capabilities especially when you could not exceed the B-Max. To do so meant that you shortened the beams if you desired a greater angle of attack on the blades.
