The transom will be V shaped. I think it's a solid rudder gantry.

I don't think at this stage anyone needs two foilers in their range ... so I guess RS have plumbed for the trap. version. Do we think foiling is set to be a mainstream part of sailing?

Peaky,
Looking at the pic, id say the transom is curved forwards from the rudder pin to the gunwhales, hence you cant see the far side of the transom, plus its slightly obscured by the blended rudder post. |

Yes but the 600ff is a trapeze boat.
Surely a foiler for the masses would accomodate those who prefer to sit down! |

Is that photo real? Where is the port side of the transom?

Don't they already have the RS600FF? |

So Ovingtons are the first to step in with a mass market hiking foiler.
Looking at the pic, I assume that the tomahawk foils dont use a wand ! So how are RS going to respond; Winged foiling vareo perhaps? |

So is this a singlehander with a jib, or will the foils support two crew members? Do you still have to wade out, capsize and stick them in from underneath, or can it be launched like a normal boat? All will become clear at the Dinghy Show, I guess. |
