Moth sailboat - hydrofoil boat

We often hear sailors say 'when I'm sailing, it feels like I'm flying.' The feeling of propulsion, the wind in your hair, totally in control of your craft. But if you really want to feel what it is like to 'fly' a boat, check out a hydrofoil sailboat.

This photo of Simon Payne performing a gybe on a Moth class sailboat was taken by the ever talented Thierry Martinez.
