It looks a lot prettier than the UFO...... Probably twice the price mind you but the concept certainly makes sense.

Looks interesting.
That 'gennaker' is possibly the flattest ever?

Is there a difference between a gennaker and an asymmetric spinnaker? If there is maybe a Gennaker is a flat cut assy spinnaker?

They'r talking about it on facebook on the sailing jihad group where there's the same number of luddites throwing cold water on the subject as you might expect here, lots of tooth sucking at fifteen grand, but other than that I think everyone would love a go on one.

Guessing that although the moths have theirs leading if the length of this craft allows it to work in that position it will save a lot of complicated linkage and allow the main foil to be raised and lowered as a unit.
