might make putting boat on beach wheels a bit more challenging, too...?

And would this market be limited to more of the experienced racing sailors, or do you think foiling technology could eventually be idiot-proof? A relative novice can get on a F-18 today and sail it (not be competitive). Could they do the same on a foiling boat with rudimentary knowledge of sailing?
