| It does look more difficult to launch from the beach compared to the 'L' foils. The foils fully retract to the hull surface for launching and landing.... | | | Re: New UK designed and built foiling catamaran

How do you insert the boards when you are on the beach? Won't the T foil break when you pull the boat on its side (assuming they enter from the bottom). | | | Re: New UK designed and built foiling catamaran

Hope you bring it to Texel next year. It will be there.... | | | Re: New UK designed and built foiling catamaran

Northfield Mn | Well Karl, that eliminates sailing UNI. I'm thinking stick em in before it even comes off the trailer. And certainly before you rig it. Boards would probably be the first thing to go in.
I'm boatless.

Make sure the rigging at the top of the stick is squared away before you put the boards in. No flipping that bitch over on her side on the beach. | | | Re: New UK designed and built foiling catamaran

With the light weight, it's probably possible to tip it over on the bows.

42.904444 N; 88.008586 W | This is so excellent.
I'm predicting that many boats will be made and sailed with foiling design in the next few years.
Sorry Nacra- but your half so designs so far don't touch this- yet. Nacra?
Still not predicting earthquakes, or anything about the temperature though.
