At the weights and lengths I think you are talkling about the boat won't plane. Therefore you want to get the least drag in displacement mode. For...
Doug, I have seen one down at WSC in Sydney. I have seen it on the shore and out sailing but have not sailed it. My general comments are:...
Mal gives a good description but there is also another factor. Waves. To a bigger boat the waves are proportionally smaller. THe little boat...
Doug, Wasn't that RHough's point. That in the absence of the rules the current moth configuration is not the best. It is the way it is to meet...
It did perform but was outlawed as a multihull. At the time is was quite successful and faster than the non-foiling moth. Look here for some...

I went to the site I couldn't find anything about 23.3. The other site you mentioned (http://www.foiler1.com/foiler_moth.html) lists 22.3 and the...
Doug Put up or Shut up. I know you are enthauastic but your claims are verging on that of a religous cult. Also on SA is a thread about how...
Doug, I think you are wrong. Americians will not jump on a foiler in any great numbers for a long while. Companies have to respond to demand...
OK, Two things spring to mind. Why do you want to go to the hastle of having gybing boards? To reduce leeway? Lee way is just the angle that...
