I'll stick to conventional cat design wisdom for as long as moth doesn't show up at an open water distance race, get out through the surf and beat 51% of the cats around the course.

I don't think it will ever happen. Mind you the Australian portsmouth rating for the foiling moth is 20% faster then the non-foling moth but still on a par with the Hobie 16's

'nough said.
