With the advent of the successsful Elite 2011 Ninja foils (Ninja Death Squad were 1,3,5 9 at the Euros , of course...) and now the skinny mainfoil for the Mach 2, several questions are posed.
How will the skinny foils perform in the light stuff? Will lift off remain the same or not? Will we see some proper two boat tuning data? Taking Si Payne's comments further, will it be the vogue to have both sets of foils at an event, using full fat when it's light and skinny when the breeze is up?
The cost of a single mast, sail and set of foils is near enough 40% of the cost of a new Moth. The hull is simply the bit that holds the important bits together, but it's not on to swap the hull mid-regatta. Should there be any limitation of masts/sails/foils for an event, or are we seeing the advent of "mix and match" according to the conditions?
