The video shows how hard it is to keep the hydrofoil Moth balanced. I didn't realize until I saw this video that the trim tab on the rudder hydrofoil is controlled by rotating the tiller extension.
Cool stuff.

ABN AMRO Skipper Sails the Hydrofoil Moth
Sebastian Josse from ABN AMRO got a chance to sail Rohan Veal's International Moth. Here's the video: http://team.abnamro.com/web/show/id=111901.

And Rohan got to play with Sebastian's boat too.
Check out the Dinghy Anarchy Forum at Sailing Anarchy. There's a group of guys in the NE US planning to build some Moths. Starting with lowriders and converting to foils later. Might be fun to be in at the start ...
