There are foiling windsurfers now, and foiling kite boards, that would be easier and cheaper than building a new 15 foot foiler.

well...$15k euros.. $21-$22k USD plus delivery still puts it in A-cat territory.

From a quick glance, it really looks like the daggerboards are far to aft for stable foiling and it, well...it just doesn't look that fast.

At first glance, i agreed with Ya ; then i read the article
and found out Why it works, and Why he went with that design.

Still TO0oo expensive though, not something an avarage-Joe
could afford ; and i think that's a : "BIG MISTAKE" , because
the guys Greed is gonna Cost him in sales. That thing could
be sold for Under $15-K, and still make a profit, if done
correctly.

For the most part, only Hobie has managed to still offer a non-foiling catamaran under $15k that can be sailed with a trapeze.

Now look what you've done, I came to his defense. grin

YEP !!
I called & asked a San Diego dealer today, how much for a New
Hobie-16 ; was close to $10-K , and a good deal for what
Ya get !! That came without a trailer though, something i
could get on Craigslist for $300 or less,
(with a few wooden & carpet Mods)for $50 more.

OK -- maybe a bit more carbon in the foiling Cat ; but
it's 2-ft shorter than the Hobie-16. Still say
a 14-ft foiling cat should go for under $15-K .

What do you mean by "for the most part"?

CFI will build you a custom Isotope (including sails) for $12.6k.

"for the most part" as in, I knew there are are outliers. Although, I didn't realize you could still buy an Isotope.

I don't really think it's fair to compare the stunt to any Hobie product. I would guess that the profit margins on all of these boats are quite a bit lower than you would think.
