They now have a website.

But their better stuff is on FaceBook where they have a video of the boat flying.

The video is worth the 1:34.

I didn't see any specs for it, at first it looked like a foiling A-Cat but from the stern view it looks pretty wide, maybe A-Cat hulls and wide beam to give room for the big foils.

The video never really showed the boat flying, more like lurching.

agreed damon. it was kind of like big foot footage to begin with. then they never actually flew for more than a second

I would like to see how they compare is flat out speed compared to a traditional design. I bet that thing was really moving given the weather conditions.

For how technical the foil design probably is, the video looked really poor quality.

thats what i was thinking foils arent cheap but their camera sure is. you can tell though by the noise of the chase boat engine he really picks up when he does start to fly a hull

Seems like that thing would pitchpole in a big way, but somehow it does not.

i would love to see video of that.

the flying moth has a elevation fin for pitch controlled by twisting the tiller.

it works at 8 knots but i think it would be a little sketchy in real wind
