Just like flying

My photo of the week on Sunday was of an International Foiling Moth and I’ve been looking for videos too. These things really are rather amazing. So I give you a video of foiling Moths at Rutland Water in the UK in 15mph winds and upwards, taking part in the Tiger Trophy. The hull weight is just 8kg with an all up weight of 28kg. Sail area is 8m. Sailor must be pretty good.

Then I found some other great ‘foiling’ videos. Check out this one of a foiling winsurfer:

…. and this one of a foiling kite surf:

…. and lastly the record breaking Hydroptere:

I'm a sailor, blogger & boat lover. I race yachts in the Solent when I can and have owned many boats including 3 x Lasers, 1 x Mirror, 1 x Swift 18 and 2 x Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 24.2's (one of which sank). I write for Harbour Exchange as therapy.
