Might as well put some foils on a V3000, would probably go better..... (lighter without a suspect rig design and sail layout)

That's just about the ugliest boat I've ever seen. Not the best of angles for the photos, but on the evidence here I'd say the sails look MILES too flat. Certainly the main. |

Think the idea is that the flat sails aid when the boat starts foiling and the apparent wind starts shifting forward as the low profile sails allow the boat to sail closer to the apparent wind as more is generated. However, you need to generate lift in the first place via a curved sail profile, so there's no point in having flat sails for high speeds if you can't get to the high speeds in the first place.

I'm guessing that guy is quite a yachty ...
Why else would you put a backstay on a boat like that! How much does it weigh ... *checks site*
230 kg on foils ... Just get a moth ... By the time there is enough wind to get foiling, you wont have anyone else to race against!! |

Never seen a boat with a "jib" the same height as the Main, plus its fully battened.
