[QUOTE=Guest#260][Do we think foiling is set to be a mainstream part of sailing?[QUOTE] It'll have to be a lot more convenient than at present, that's for sure. Currently I'd rate it more like windsurfing than dinghy sailing in its appeal. |

I don't actually know. From the degree of indstrialisation in the windsurf world I'd expect they were huge, but that may be past-tense. Put another way, how many windsurfers do you see out on the water these days? We are largely concerned with our own back yard, i guess (it's not our fault if most of the rest of the world hasn't noticed that dinghies exist). |

Looks like a planing step, such as used on hydroplanes. Apparently giving up on sub-planing performance completely.

I thought they only work at very high speeds. Like
20kts+ or summat so most of the time it is gonna be dragging like a b**tard. |

![]() I don't think it's a step, but some shadow from the background. Simon |
