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

I use a SanDisk Micromate (came free with an SDHC card) and also connect the camera direct to the computer.

Removing the SD card and using a reader is handy if you have the camera set up on a tripod (for example) and do not want to disturb the set-up, whilst checking what you have already taken.

.................Not sure how you managed to take a picture at all while sailing one of those little boats
Fortunately we were on a larger boat with plenty of space for Pentax gear

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

I just managed to grab this shot, as this 'beastie' slipped silently past us this afternoon
