winged bug

The one boat that could benefit from the efficiency of a hard sail even more than the ultra-slippery C-Class hulls is the foiling moth, and a year of rumors have finally been confirmed with Adam May’s new winged Moth, trialed over the weekend in old Blighty.  If it’s robust enough to handle the occasional capsize – and inevitability on a Moth – it would have to be hard to beat.  And if a winged moth dominates as many think it will, one would imagine it’ll get banned after winning the Worlds on Lake Macquarie in a few months.  More info on the thread, as well as Adam’s blog.
