Sam Pascoe sails the RS600FF hydrofoil boat in 18 to 20 knots of wind in Portland Harbour, Weymouth. A couple of messy moments, but mostly Sam is in control of the beast. For more info on this radical boat, go to www.RS600FF.com

  • im sorry but an international moth is a much better design

  • @Theef3kw

    "A much better design..." For what? Your statement is meaningless unless you define what the design is intended for.

  • The wave sensor - does that adjust the angle of the foils? I.E - is it electronic?

  • There is a bow wand which is mechanically linked to the central foil, so yes, it does adjust the angle of the foils but, no, it's not electronic...

  • Right I see so that requires the wave to actually touch the wand for there to be an adjustment I take it....

    I'd buy one but 1. I don't have the money and 2. I'm probably not quite heavy enough to balance it.

  • If you tried it you'd love it so much that 1. you'd find the money and 2. you'd get heavier... ;)

  • I like the Boat but the moth is still the better

  • That looks like serious fun! the prices I have seen so far are a bit more attainable when compared to the Moths etc.

    How much water do the foils draw? I have a lot of kelp to deal with where I sail but there is one clear area where I could launch.

  • I'd have liked to see him gybe wire-to-wire without coming off the foils.

  • @SailJuice ok a new moth can go 30 knots and an rs 600 can go 20....and the moth is constantly being modified unlike this

  • As a fat bastard at 100kg a moth a slightly out of my reach. I would be interested in understanding where and when the RS600FF would be made commercially available.

  • sailing is a really nice sport love it

  • @SailJuice

    I bet it works much smother, but I think I would prefer a "manual".

    Still, very nice boat. I envy you :)
