Mind u if its travelling at speed the foil may be creating a certain amount of lift, and its probably just a split second position

no, its possible, the foils are curved, thus providing lift as the boat heels. This scene is common in the open 60 tris in inland races. The raw force kon the sails is large enough to heel the boat like that. Pretty cool, huh?

it wouldn't be much of a triamaran if it sank every time it flew a hull or two! The single hull is carrying no more load than if the main hull were a few inches out of the water rather than 20 odd feet |

That trimaran photo was genuine, and yes they did recover it apparently!! Scary stuff, I'll stick to dinghy sailing I think. |

The moth's from Germany or Holland I think, it's on the German Int moth website. |
