This is the kind of news that make me believe that foils are in our future.
Copied from the ISAF Website : (bold is mine)

International Moth World Championship
24 - 30 August 2003 Les Sables d'Olonne, FRANCE

Foil Day in France

Heats 3 and 4 were sailed on Tuesday afternoon in a good 15 to 20 knot North-West wind. Rohan VEAL (AUS) and Mark ROBINSON (AUS) started well, but were quickly caught by Mark THORPE (AUS) and Les THORPE (AUS).
Mark & Les led for the remainder of the race, with Mark crossing the finish line first before Les THORPE and Ian FORDSIKE. The first French sailor to finish was Jean-Jacques CHARPENTIER, 28 position in the 37 boat fleet.

The wind and swell were very good for Rohan VEAL in the second heat of the day for him to use his dagger board mounted foils to their ultimate. The show on the water was absolutely fabulous and Rohan finished first, 4 minutes before the second boat.

After a protest yesterday, Rohan VEAL has been disqualified for the first race of the event race. Patrick RUF (SUI) is now 3rd of that race and also third in the overall results. Mark Thorpe is first and Les second...

Didn't Brett Burvill win two heats with his "Windrush" in the 1999-2000 World Titles in Perth?

David "Davo" Lugg also has shown in some of his local races (before they were banned) how fast a twin foil set up can be when upright on his International 14 "Bullett".

Thanks for the update though..
