It’s called a wand it adjusts the trailing edges flap to keep it flying at optimal ride height, some of the more advanced moths/ waszp also control the entire foil/centreboard angle to get the optimal lift in light airs
These guys should learn windsurfing on a foil. Much more fun. Less hassle. Faster. Dismantle the lot and put it inside your car. These are old fashioned but were in advance on their time IN their time.
@@mothgp5821 OZ - Austraïlyiya ? Not my fault there are no good foilers out there. Give'm a year or two. Evah saiyled un ? ohr saiyled up close ahnd pehrsohnal like with a foiling windsurfer ? they'r fastah mate. Balls aht.
@@mothgp5821 Oh don't get me wrong. Everyone is entitled to their own likings. It's a free world (still). Just don't go around exclaiming that Moth foiling is the ultimate and fastest sail craft, because it isn't. Fact.
Epic song choice
Hello!! Could you tell me what it is and what is the appendage or tip on the bow that touches the water for? Thank you.
It's connected to the foil and adjusts the angle to keep the ride hight stable.

@@moaerdo1357 Thanks for the clarification. Appropriate name for a magical mechanism. 😉
Pardon my ignorance, whats the cord hanging from the front tip into the water for?
As far as I'm aware it's a linkage that's connected to the foil and can alter it's angle to keep the ride hight somewhat stable
Yes thats the connection to the wave pattern.... Effectivity it tells the main foil flap what to do!
Why does it not tip over
Sort of same principle as a bicycle
Красиво.

I think you will find that the moths are still quicker than most foil windsurfers.. Well the ones in OZ anyway and that aren't bespoke.

I don't think we said it was but we were one of the original foil sailing craft...
