What is the hull shape like and what are the main differences over other Moth hull shapes?
A. We looked at a lot of current designs and also took into account the lift available from the foils at higher low-riding speeds (the hull sits higher in the water even when not foiling). The result was a finer bow, straighter rocker, flatter bottom, squarer chines. We then improved the stern shape to get cleaner lift-off. For foiling, the main aim was to reduce weight and windage so the flares were reduced and the freeboard at the front was lowered.
