The Waszp is aimed at people who just want to turn up and sail.
The key for me is going to be the quality of the development and manufacturing. It needs to be really thoroughly resolved to fulfill the promise. 
when you say the waszp is just a turn up and sail boat i cant see how its any different to a moth its foils uses the same wand mech as any other moth, you still have chose what sail you will use on the day of course if your rich enough to afford all 3, then before you even leave the shore you dont know if they will fly the none foiling flag and if they do you have to take the horizontal off which would be crap if you spent all that time leaning to foil and you go to events and you end up low riding and a modern moth takes off in about 6 knots now so why would you want to sail in any less breeze at a event any way, you still have to put the mast up you still have to insure it and you still have to learn the art of foiling so how is this any better its not really one design as there are 3 sails to chose from 

the only thing i can see is its a new foiling boat for 11k once its in the country but i must add you can buy a very good moth for that much which would only be a few years old and the new moths now or in the last 3 years have no problems and once you learn the art of foiling  it would be competitive

I don't know where people are getting this non foiling idea from? Have I missed something? It's a foiler and will only be sailed as one as far as I can see.

i dont get it you are ment to be buying a foiling boat but you could be spending the money on a sometimes foiling sometimes not so does that mean even more time is invested in sailing this thing then a moth as water pushing and foiling are to different things and and are two different techniques so you have to learn how to sail this boat fast in 2 different sailing modes
