I'm in Florida,USA and have ben inspired by the exciting developements in the Moth Class. I have designed a 16footer ,two person, monohull foiler using two foils just like Bretts' Moth and hope to have it sailing soon. With the worlds getting closer, theres seems to be more and more talk about the hydrofoils. As I said before I am neither with them or against them and think maybe we havent seen enough of them to make a confident decision on their future. I am only worried that they could lead to a sailing boat with extreme stability.
Hydrofoils are here.
Hydrofoil sailing craft are here now, and they certainly are exciting to sail. So naturally I had to get one and sail it. Hydrofoils on moths are exciting as hell, and as we have said they do make it easier to sail, however if your boathandling is not up to scratch then things will go wrong very quickly, and so you need to be on the ball. I can answer a few of the queries under the pics in the photo gallery, but not all. Here is a little collection of Moth class history points which I got from Ian Ward some years back.
