Also check out: http://www.monofoiler.com for some spectacular Moth pictures and an I14 flying with an asymetric! Also, the Sailboats forum on this site for some discussion of foiler design. You might also try to find a forum under "Confluence Watersports" I think that has a forum specific to the Windrider Rave or check the Windrider site for that forum.

thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the thread in the sailboat design forum:

Also, search on the names Greg Ketterman and Sam Bradfield. These two designers are probably the leading U.S. experts in this field, and production boats are available to their designs. Bradfield's WindRider Rave has already been mentioned. The Hobie Tri-Foiler is designed by Ketterman.

Tom Speer is also a legit expert in this area. Pay attention to what he says on the subject.

(Actually, I'm a wanna-be hydrofoil designer - I've never built one yet. But I'm working on it!)
