How do you gybe the foiler Moth when it is going fast?
It is actually quite easy, unlike a normal Moth at speed which has a lot of force in the rig on the boat. When foiling at speed there is very little pressure in the rig, so it is just a matter of moving some weight inwards and forwards and steering slightly to leeward to make the boat ‘carve gybe’. Grab the entire mainsheet and throw it over (there will be very little pressure in the sail at this stage but it fairly easy as you shouldn’t be sheeting out very far anyway). Really dig your head and body towards the new windward wing to maintain that slight heal. Get your balance and make sure the sail is set. Swap hands and start hiking towards the back of the boat. Once going again, move your weight forward. If you are good enough, the should not touch the water (but it won’t matter too much anyway even if it does, just don’t lift the boat too high out of the water or roll the boat to windward before the gybe). Piece of cake!
