Default The Moth

This boat?

OK that does it. I'm moving down there. First you get to
sail on the canting keel hotrods then a T-foil Moth? You
have it too good.


Take another look at the video, notice tacking and how the baot tries
to spit you off in the tack.
Notice too how the boat wil suddenly pitch down and dump itself back
into the briny...again it suddenly halves it's speed and tries to spit
you off the bow.

Very challenging and extremely exciting.


Already knew that. I thought the attitude controls had made
some advances just in the past year? Part of getting these
things to go is to be able to control pitch and get the
thing up & at the right angle fore/aft.
