Theres no doubt a 300 could be made to foil... but why would you want it too? It would be totaly outclassed by the moth speedwise, yet still too difficult to sail to make it a popular smod foiling alternative IMO |

maybe see if hydros would work on a 300, if you can get 2 people foiling in a moth then you can surely get a 300 flying

Difficult to pick one change, usually you need to make a couple of changes that work together.
Sensible - a decent size kite on an RS400: say 200sqft. Controversial - rerig the RS300 with a stayed fully battened rig based on Moth practice. Makes old timers spit in their beer (1) - ditch the Merlin Rocket Gaff rigged mainsail and just measure total area with the rest free. Makes old timers spit in their beer (2) - ditch the Merlin Rocket clinker hull to make the boats cheaper. |

Add an extra batten and move the rig ( rotating of course ) back about a
foot on a National 12. I would call this the 'Nest of vipers' rule....  Edited by Jack Sparrow |

How about take a 97rules cherub (or similar), but swap the hull for one 6ft long? |
