It‘s build by AST in Potsdam

I hope you are joking

@@fthagnryleh4951 subsets to this. buy one, use portions. from, paddle boat to laser-class to outboard to foil to sail-foil. one packaged price. am i funny.?

😂

Yes it looks nice but it’s tricky to sail in waves. You have to sit back to prevent nose dive.

Hallo Dan, eine offizielle Schule gibt es am Mar Menor in Spanien. Ich kann die das am Bodensee aber auch mal zeigen.

@@berndbuck8332 Wow, was für ein Angebot Bernd. Ich wohne exakt auf der anderen Seite des Sees. Wann könnte ich das einmal erleben?

@@danfurrer lass uns einfach die nächsten Wochen mal schauen, wann wir beide Zeit haben und ausreichend Wind angesagt ist. Um 8-10kn Wind wäre perfekt. Meine Mobil Nr. ist +491622574871

Still very much in Experimental state!

It ain't for you then. They are fking awesome!!!!

@@TheMotosnake Where's your video showing this?

@@jaysparc I need to prove nothing to you, scrub.

@@TheMotosnake Go lube a chain protosnake.

Hi Alexander, it is call The Foiling Dinghy and made by AST in Potsdam. Ask also me if you are interested in buying one.

Where are you located?

Yes, I also thought about this. With new foils an some changes in the trimming system this should be possible. An electronic ride hight control system we will Test on a Whisper next weeks.

The fact that you're asking such ridiculous questions indicates your well out of your depth.

@@jaysparc considering some of the off the shelf auto-stability devices already on the market, I think this may just be in the realm of feasible. Not easy, but something that could be accomplished. The fact that ride height control is mechanically self regulating on a Moth, and electronically so on an AC40. You can get small flight controllers for RC craft that can take inputs from laser or inertial sensors. I guess in one sense the question is: if you're building a 1 person dinghy, why not just stick with the moth method, as you'll be hiking out for righting stability anyway? It has been proven on a Laser as well.

​@@weatheranddarknessWhy don't you go ask the makers of the AC40 how "easy" it is to make a foiling yacht with auto flight technology. You sound like the kind of person who thinks easily describing a problem means that the solution is equally as simple. Show me your working prototype, then I'll stop thinking your just pulling stuff out of your behind.

@@jaysparc I didn't say it was "easy" I just said it was feasible. Some of the key hardware components to make it work are available off the shelf these days. I don't see why you're jumping down my throat here. Your beef was with the other guy. All i'm trying to say is that you should let this person experiment on their ambition, if they fail they fail, if they succeed, they succeed. No skin off my back, nor yours.

"I agree. Within 10 minutes, you start to see the design flaws. The tiller extension is not the right tool for this. A longer tiller with U-shaped bars extending off either side of the tiller would be better. The sheet controls need to go back more toward the center. I have seen on more sophisticated foil sailboats that one foil is out of the water. One question: If there was a crewmate, would they adjust the foils?"

Where are you from? Kam about to sell mine. www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/the-foiling-dinghy-jolle-einhand-foiling/1560107760-211-7706?ToPasteboard&

I am in England on the south coast. I would absolutely love this boat but I fear it would be out of my price range at this time. I think if I sold the 4 dinghies I already have, that might help! (They are an obsession haha)

Hi Ashley, you may contact Stephen Blake, stephen@dynamic-sailing.com.

If you like this i really recommend you the waszp, is a little bit worse on displacement, but when it starts to fly is awesome

The following is the setting for a fresh breeze. I use minimum lift on the rudder to reduce the risk of nosediveing in displacement mode. If I use more lift at the main foils, I fly to high and get spin outs at the leeward foil.

Ah okay, that makes sense

@@berndbuck8332 from my actual experience it may help to put the rudder angle about 0.3-1.0 degree to more lift at the rudder. This reduces the lift of the main foils and at my boat dramaticaly the stalls/spin offs. At the speed where the nose dives the lift of the rudder is not significant. It can be compensated by slower acceleration - let the boat more time when tighten the sheet - and sitting more to the back. It becomes really stable on the foils, the mainfoil setting is then much less important.

@@uwer.6810 Ok, I'm gonna check this out

On gusty, changing winds it‘s still a challenge. With real lift at the rudder foil it becomes worse again.
