Thanks Mike! That is exactly what I had in mind, I can't believe we haven't seen this here in the USA yet. I crunched some numbers from the website, it's only 13.5 feet long, weighs about 170lbs. Costs about $17,000. US Dollars (15,500 Euros).

In their description they talk about the wand system of foil adjustment so the skipper can concentrate on sailing vs. moving the foil around.

And they say they have straight boards for kids and a shorter mast for high winds. Is there a class of these racing in Europe yet?

For about the price of a Wetta, you could be flying one of these instead. Can I race it in the full foiling A cat class? It would measure in, right? It's shorter and weighs more, so it wouldn't be 'outside' the A class rules, would it? If it doesn't exceed any A Cat box rules it should be (foiling) class legal... right? For less than the price of a floating A, you could be foiling!
