Karl, if you got it going fast enough and then leaned it sideways, (cant it to windward) or just before you crashed, it would get you ariborne. Keeping yourself airborne is a skill you would then have to learn, kind of like the Moth sailors have to learn how to stay up on the foils. I think the wing concept has a lot of potential, it just needs more development time.

Time and Money that is...If I had unlimited time and money, I'd be on the phone to Mr. Hall right now, talking about a new wing for my new fully foiling, canting wing, 100% carbon A cat. Maybe I could add a kite-board type sail for the downwind work? ;^)
