Talking about how well a boat points is really pretty useless in my opinion. Yes, when foiling the angle relative to the true wind will very likely be greater than when not foiling. This is because the apparent wind nearly doubles and the angle changes significantly. What you really need to think about is VMG.

I've sailed a moth several times, and trust me, it goes upwind just fine!
