REGELE FOILERS? – Molia este încă top? Cine poate lua coroana?

1. King of foiling is, and by a huge margin, kite foiling. Even recreational models will smoke any Moth/Wasp out there and price is divided by 3.

2. Windfoil and kitefoil both cheaper and faster and will handle whatever weight range you want.

   Just require more skill..though windfoil is fairly straightforward.

   Not merely sitting there 😉

3. foilers : taking Brits go around the bay, taking French go around the World

4. last one is best

5. All that sailing… in one direction. I think there may have been one tack, but it was off screen, maybe?

6. Seriously people!! US$ 14000 is not affordable. These one design/corporate boats are killing sailing. If one design boats were all anyone sailed, my local sail maker and chandler would be out of a job. The licensed sails and gear on these things are basically twice as expensive as they should be. Ask a laser sailor how he feels about the price of a new sail, that is worth about 1/3rd of what it costs?
   I did a quick google and came up with 3, very tidy 2nd hand moths for under US$ 5500 here in Australia. A way better prospect for a sailor starting out in the world of foiling.
   Come on RYA, push real boats relevant to normal people that keep the sport of sailing healthy

7. Very interesting, thank you RYA and Saskia Clark, MBE!
   In sail racing the progress has been in my lifetime from displacement, to planing, to foiling. (I am having a private moment imagining what's next.). We all have our favorites in each category, purely personal and aesthetic, if you ask me, though doubtless backed by sound argument (if not valid, b/c I respect your views e'en when logic fails you, or vice versa).
   Displacement: Cutty Sark. "Where's there a Willis away." You Willis relations… show mercy, but if they don't accept, you know what to do, as always. Close second: Major Harold William "Bill" Tilman, CBE, DSO, MC and Bar, and his distant shore adventures mounted from aboard his Bristol Channel pilot cutters. That design was e'en moreso, if possible, the result of the free market upon yacht design. Those pilot cutters had to stay out and be speedy. Small crew.
   Planing: Frank and Margaret Dye's "Wanderer" a Wayfarer one-design by Ian Proctor from 1957. No question.
   Foiling: Holy Jesus Christ, Son of God! May God have mercy on all of us, poor sinners! So many winners! To name but a few… "Fairey Fox", sailed by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in 1956, James Grogono's "Icarus", a standard Tornado-class catamaran retrofitted with hydrofoils, as a development beast, and later wavering between "L'Hydroptère", a trimaran vessel with reasonable crew accommodation, and "Vestas Sailrocket 2", purpose built proa.
   Materials science plus supercomputing (in the absence of the "sure feel" of an artist with real good feel in fluid dynamics , as before, in, for example, the Viking Era, when materials science, a real feel for the water, a warrior spirit, solid and trustworthy wives,, unlush agriculture at home that might not support a family of 12 or 15 kids ('cuz we R horny!), loosed that wandering spirit we have to raid islands for what they had. Even the continent, as in Normandy, and the rivers into the Baltic. (Can you say "Black Sea"? I think you can. "İstanbulda?"
   As the USMC says, "From the sea!"

8. Shocking that the salesmen reckon their boat is great at everything…

9. £11k????? Affordable?????

   I'll stick to kite foiling on my home built foil and board.

10. NEW – Filming on the water – Moth Sailor Ross Harvey checks out some of the kit to film yourself on the water https://youtu.be/433rXJeSBWk

11. Hi! What is the price each of them?

13. I'm trying to decide on a foiling boat. I'm new to foiling but not sailing. I think I'm stuck between the UFO and the Waszp. The Waszp seems like it is easier to tune while on the water, and seems more capable of foiling tack and gybes. The UFO seems more stable, easier to learn, much easier to launch, sails well in a displacement mode, but can't heel as much as a waszp before one of the hulls contacts the water. My biggest concern is that I want to eventually be able to foil tack and gybe eventually, even if that means I swim a lot more early on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

14. I need a tiny boat. Something I can cruise with, so no foil or any fast stuff, and preferably some sort of storage. Any suggestions?

15. Some interesting info, thank you. But posing questions: "KING OF THE FOILERS? – Is the Moth still top? Who can take the crown?" . . . .
    . . . and then failing to answer them is known as "Click Baiting", and not what one would expect of the RYA.

16. Except for the UFO these boats are crazy expensive.

17. Here's a question: Which boat is faster on a reach in a force 4 breeze? A foiler, or a properly sailed Tornado, or Hobie 16?

18. "King of the foilers"? Kiss my ass. (This message brought to you by TriFoiler #23)

19. I am looking for the next step up in excitement so foiling seems the way to go. I am in my 60's and recently sailed sailed a Weta for 3 seasons. Had fun. I am now looking at the UFO as the pricing is reasonable for a new boat delivered. I am also looking at transportability and cost of replacement parts. The other boats look great but I can't see the value in their pricing.

20. i am in love with the ufo ,I sailed 470 for three years now,sailed moth once and since then wish for a foiler.

21. Great video. Wonder if there were other foiling cats there besides the UFO. Foiling has many down sides that none of them tell you such as light wind sailing sucks (when hull or hulls is/are in the water); getting weeds off the foils; Have to hike out a lot so need strong abbs and back muscles; Crashes at top speed can hurt; high maintenance costs (hit a foil on something while at high speeds); etc. So there are advantages to non foilers and foilers. Need to weigh them and cost, etc.

22. I love that the Australian-New Zealand moth has been made foiling!

23. Can someone tell me what the little bar is that hangs off the front and touches the water? I’ve seen it on some, and sometimes on each outrigger

24. 11 grand? Is he joking? Is that supposed to be cheap for a small sized sailer?

25. 🖖🏼😎

26. King of the foilers? The Hobie TriFoiler of course. Nothing else has its speed and stability. It still holds the Class A world record.

27. SASKIA could be my future ex wife… just sayin'… xo xo =)

28. Good…shame about the music

29. music too loud

30. I think Saskia could have asked for the price of each boat, ready to sail. Saskia could also have asked if the boats sail in all positions, especially at the stern.

31. Too much music

32. All of these are named after bugs. I'd call my foiling dinghy model the "Meteor". Cuz meteors are the fastest objects in space, and comets.

33. what is the line dragging in the water?

34. Gp f50 is a one design foiling boat and it’s slightly bigger

35. I dont recall these being in the Jetsons tv show, but we do have them here in the 21st Century! 😮😅❤
