I don't know what you call them, but they're not C or banana boards. They are designed to allow you to tune the amount of lift vs. side force you get out of the foils. I also wouldn't expect this boat to be fully born on foils - just "lift enhanced".

We'll have to see on the foiling part, won't we? They're S boards and as long as they don't extend past max beam ( up or down) or inboard to the specs Jake stated, they are legal. They were tried on DOGzilla and the Alinghi cat back in the Deed of Gift build up, but I don't think they got used in the actual match. I love this boat,Dario has done an outstanding job. Can't wait to see if it is a performer.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
