Foiling…
I’ve received this pic with a report of an M20 “flying above water” (Moth style), they are also testing some curved rudders for generating additional lift. At Texel Round 09 a black M20 used them too but not much wind this year. Although hydrofoiling is not new, a new hi-tech 20′ class will have some adepts in a near future. A-Class currently use curved foils but none reported with a 100% lift, SYZ Foiler did fly but overall performance wasn´t the expected. I´ll post some action pics as soon as I received them..
I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
