Wings - check
Sleeve luff - check
Narrow hull - check
No spinnaker - check
Moth logo - erm, hang on...

Looks fun and all, but what does it give that a Moth doesnt already?

Nothing.  I think they may be trying to make a boat that fits in between a Foiling moth and a non foiler.

Not to sure on the name either

Looks wider on the waterline than a Moth, more like an RS300 but with tramps rather than the moulded-in wings

I thought that.  Not sure it will make it to these shores though.  I dont think it would be able to compete any way.

A big fat 1970s style transom?

Bit like a SMOD Moth.

I'd love to sail on SF bay ...

I think someone should come up with a high performance single handed skiff for the bigger bloke.

It does look like he may have. 

I think I might have to design a boat. rs300 massive sail area and kite.
