Reply to: H-18 hydrofoil

[quote=DanBerger]The person to talk to about foiling is Dave Carlson. His website is the one CatDan mentioned above. I spoke to him at length just last weekend about his foiling efforts and he said that the Hobie 18 was way too heavy. He has a wooden A cat (Catnip) that weighs 200 pounds and he can foil that thing all day. Of course, he is about 165 pounds and he doesn't tow skiers. Not to be negative about the Hobie 18, but it looks like you'll need 40+kt winds (on a beam reach) and completely flat water to get the 18 to foil. Plus, your girlfriend will have to watch the carnage from shore. :evil:[/quote]
