@josephdupont I think they can go 30+ knots but the highest recorded speed on a blade rider moth is 28.7 knots, they are one of the fastest moths, but I am sure they can go faster!
their getting a few of these where i sail (Sail Newport) apparently the first time sailing on of these is very hard my "Boss" broke a rib cage a bruised a few bones when he first sailed it their getting three cant wait theres a guy that sails one everyday here too
I'd like to see a craft w/ foils that are seperate left & right & independantly adjustable so the craft can stay upright w/out needing the pilot to use his weight as a counterbalance. It might have a bit more drag but it'd be much easier to pilot.
looks very difficult. I'd like to see how a whole fleet of them handle the starting line with all of the dirty air patterns. I'm sure they're raced, but for me it would be a hooligan type toy.

such crazy technology, generating 20 knots of speed with 3 knots of wind, amazing.

I want to make love to this boat, it looks so hard to sail though. Does anybody know if they have a lighter wind model (as if) cause I live on a lake
