Foiling Moths

Foiling moths are a type of high-performance sailboat designed for racing. They use underwater wings, called foils, that lift the hull out of the water as the boat gains speed, greatly reducing drag and allowing for faster movement. This design enables the boat to "fly" above the water's surface, improving efficiency and performance in various wind conditions. Foiling moths are known for their agility and speed, making them popular in competitive sailing, particularly in events like the America’s Cup and other international regattas. Their innovative technology represents a significant advancement in sailing dynamics.
