Foiler Windward Heel: Upwind Best of All??

[Paul Scott]

Thanks- this is what comes from too much art criticism combined with (never enough) yacht sailing technology. But even TS might agree though, it was a detailed fantasm.

When a Moth foiler is heeled to weather upwind is there a difference that is noticeable from port to starboard tack when the wand is on one side?
How is the wands performance in altitude control affected by the amount of heel?

The difference side-to-side isn't really noticeable.

The wand still controls the altitude when the boat is heeled. No problem. There may be a slight variation in lift because of the change in geometry, but again it's not really noticeable.
