    yes, track mount, for a cut down Swift mast (6.3m) and a 2.60m boom. 10.75sqm, Demension polyant PX05 windsurf sail material, prepreg battens. around $1500, figure I should jump on it before he changes his mind:p

    so I took some time, went over all the posts I could find from the last 4 years on here, Sailing Anarchy, and the US and AUS moth forums.....and the number is 107,231,432:eek: ..........but I'm not one of them, these foil threads would be nothing without him, and the nonfoiling threads that he tries to turn into foiling threads would be nothing without him either. take this thread for example, if it wasn't for Doug there would only be like one page....is this still the foiling 18' thread? i'm so confused.:confused:


    *****Doug, do you have any F-box pictures, because I still can't find any....thanks*****

    I was sailing Moths when scows where hot and skiffs nose dived way to much. Things have changed just a little !

    never saw one with wings on it, Buddy Melgus is turning in his grave, and no stays on the mast....good for if you crash, nothing to give you brusis.
    would love to take that warlock for a spin. does it look a little heavy?

    Yeah but its in the hull shape and the way she hits the water. Moth scows had wings for along time, blardy uncomfortable things more often than not!
