looks sick (in a good way) but complex
they even state that they are still working on making it easier and safer
it looks like you need to be rich and a pro, and not interested in "fun" but trying to be insanely fast and competitive
the UFO looks a lot easier, cheaper and probably more fun than that rocket (for the typical multihuller)
the f101 looks even better but much more expensive -

Just get a foiling A. Relatively speaking the most simple of the boats, the price is a happy medium and there is an active fleet plus good used boats on the market at the moment. I would not want to deal with the complexity of a $100k+ Superfoiler or find 2 crew I trust are capable to sail the beast with. -

Come foiling! Whisper, UFO and S9 foilers are all within reach -- cost and complexity wise. Those 3 are primarily for fun and I can attest first hand they get the job done

I can't speak for the others but I did see a UFO at a regatta last year. While I could take out any of my boats in light wind and putt around, the UFO did not seem like much fun in the light stuff.
