The rudder hydrofoil gives the boat 100 lbs of dynamic lift, is for both lift (upwind), and stability. Downwind in hairy conditions, it is eased off, allowing for a boat with less volume in the bow than would otherwise be designed and helping to reduce the frequency you go down the mine.
how tall is the mast?

It's interesting that only the helmsman is ripped off the boat, when the boat tilts windwards. That's the same with me and my mate.

Nice Vid - well done!
Nice Sailing too!
I think we might have convergent evolution going on here - with those wings the inter-14 is looking a lot more like the 49er.
Is that a foil underwater by the stern? The mast cam seems to show it ...

yeah, it keeps the stern down in big breeze i think...

well more the trim tab on the after part of the foil keeps the bow up down wind. prevents the crew from being air mailed around the forestay
