if the foils are wider than the board, it will be more stable sideways than
without them.

could it be to do with the fact that there must be a bit more drag coming from the foil rather than just the tiny bit of wetted area that a planing board has?

I think we are now in the right ball park.  Hydrodynamic resistance doesn't increase linearly, i.e add twice as much sail on the same hull, doesn't mean you go twice as fast.  Moths go so much faster as the hydrodynamic resistance is minimal when on foils compared with a hull in the water for the same sail area.  So the fact that the non-foiling windsurfer has a bigger rig should make little difference unless the drag coming of the foiler is equal to or greater than a conventional board.

Still looks good though

Because the video is only 15 seconds long ... and the crew is only in the water for 4 or 5 of those ( That we can see ) . That could also be why they stopped filming ... To go help the crew out.

You've just gotta love sailing these boats.  That helm has just got to learn not to just "spin the wheel" when bearing off.   Great video.

Looks like he has been taking lessons from Nicho on the Skilled Engineering, from the days when he said "OK guys, we're going to nail this bear away......"

It's on the second Ronstan Awsome Assie Skiffs DVD.
