"Foilers; facts, lies, and whatever else"

I'm going to start off by saying I dont care about foilers, but hey, who am I to judge? Different strokes.
I just think instead of destroying other threads on this fine site with the SAME FRIGGIN ARGUMENTS, we could do it here! Sounds cool, right?

I'll start.........

There is NO WAY a foiling moth is quicker than a Tornado. None! Besides, "pictures or it never happened."

A couple af days ago I went to a link on one of doug's posts. On this link there were two video clips of foiler moth worlds. While they are fast and they are cool, they are not boats. In my opinion a boat is something that floats.

In one of these clips two moths had an overwhelming lead over the rest of the fleet, at the first bouy the second place boat capsized and the leaders' hull never even touched the water.

Cool? Yes
Boats? No

Joe,

I apologize, but I cant find this link for the life of me, otherwise I would have posted it.
