Is "that" allowed?
I imagine a few gins being spat out in the club house.
Nice pic.

Either that, or few additional ones being downed hastily!
Magic indeed Hyram - some kind of submerged aerofoil at work? Glad you caught it.

The boat is an International Moth, which is a development class that has evolved to extremes over the years, culminating in the latest versions that have foils.
What surprised me yesterday was that this one was able to rise up onto its foils in so little wind. When I first saw this Moth, it was sailing 'normally' and I took no notice of it, then it came past silently up on its foils.
One day I will get some much better shots, but it is difficult when you are sailing your own boat

Fortunately we were on a larger boat with plenty of space for Pentax gear

It has a main aerofoil (hidden from view) at the bottom of the centreboard (the centre post) and another aerofoil (hidden from view) at the bottom of the rudder (the aft post).
They are set up to generally 'travel' 300mm - 400mm above the surface of the water
Not a boat for the inexperienced

Far better photographs than mine

Indeed. Nor for the elderly and infirm. I've now reached the age when an X One Design is about right, without a spinnaker.Not a boat for the inexperienced
