I am certainly looking forward to what a fleet of foilers will look like on the course. Probably very similar to a Moth fleet, but I wonder if the boat tactics will be simliar?

Is it worth risking to engage in boat/fleet tactics on foilers?

I have always thought there was a mutual respect between the two skippers. Grant Dalton seemed to be the a$$ clown creating all the friction.
