I wanted to do that last week when it was published on TheDailySail but folks here without subscriptions wouldn't have been able to see it... I think the video really shows how controllability of the foilers and ability of the sailors have both really come on very quickly. Not so long ago we were seeing videos of people occasionally managing a gybe without coming off the foils, but in this vid. he makes it look a complete doddle (that's not to say that it is, but there appear to be no ride height control issues during the process).

Mr Isis, nowt much, except the daggerboard box will be the right size
for a 66014, and the gantry will be longer... should have it done in a
couple of weeks.

I went sailing with sam from the the moth vid yesterday and he said it has taken 2years to get to the were he is now with this foiling. Very impressive thought. I want one but I have a bit of a weight issue 91kg is not the best for a moth The boat we were out on is the out95 also a very cool bit of kit www.out95.com

ah nice. How was it Ian? There was much speculation on the forum about the boat when it was first released but no one had any first hand experience to comment either way! What was she like? Was she fast? Was she stable? so many questions!

She is very cool you have to sail her very flat upwind which seems very odd in a yacht But we were doing around 7knots in 8/10 knots of wind. She is not stable when you are doing manuvers as it is only about 900kg half the weight of a mumm30 and wider! Down wind is awesome we hit 15.1knots in 12knots of wind and were doing steady 11/12 in 8 knots of wind. We went past a J105 doing about 5 knots more than them and only a few degrees higher downwind Very cool boat can’t what to sail her in some more wind |

I love it. But playing devil's advocate, isn't it a trimaran in all but name?
