I think Jake is right. I wonder when will see enough lift off the boards that they need stabilizers on the rudders. Must happen eventually I imagine because foiling, even with partial lift, is just too fast to ignore. Amazing that a 12,000 lb or more keelboat is that lifted already.

Caftan, would be great to see the S9 develop as a junior boat if that makes sense. Small and perhaps more stable with wands on both sides.

For those who want to race foiling boats, you can alway get a foiling A-Class for about the same price as the S9 in the US (from $22K to $25K or so) and have a few hundred boats to race with.
