I read that post title and wondered how it was going to get under some of the bridges- then I read the article and apparently this ain't the Florida RI regatta.

Because they are doing it right, full on foiling, with T foil rudders and angle of attack control.

They are not just riding a sea-saw.

If you want to go foiling, do it right.

One seriously cool boat, but you'd have to have some deep pockets to play that game. I think I read on SA it was $200k for the boat? Which would be the cheap part.


I'm boatless.

I do not like the mainsheet system that much. Seems as though the helmsman has to spin it off the winch around the handle - pretty snarly... this is a temporary issue, and they will sail around it with technique refinement.

Hot boat for a half million or so. I doubt we see them in the southern states, but there is hope in the NACRA Carbon 20 and its new foiling kit.
