Unique sailing craft

Saw one of these in Vancouver yesterday and talked to the sailor. Only 4 in Canada. The skill level required to sail these things is very high. It has to be a real thrill to be upon the the foils.

Those things are wild. There's a big Moth regatta (Moth Madness) on the Columbia Gorge in OR ever July. The only reason I know this is because my parents were cruising through there in their camper last year at the same time and stopped to check them out.

Looks like mad fun if you can keep it upright. I imagine they must be rather expensive, as boats almost always are.

If I remember my Dad's quote of someone else, "a boat is a hole in the water created so that you may throw money into it."

Sounds sort of like the cars we love.
