Moth (dinghy)
The Moth is a small development class of sailing dinghy.Originally a small, fast home-built sailing boat designed to plane, since 2000 it has become an expensive and largely commercially produced boat designed to hydroplane on foils though many are still built at home, typically at much lower cost.. The pre-hydrofoil design Moths are still sailed and raced, but are far slower than their foiled ...

Flying on the Foils: a Q&A with Brooks Reed, MIT's Moth Sailor
What's the most difficult part about sailing a hydrofoil? I think the most difficult part is that the boat is so dynamic. The Moth weighs about 65 pounds, so the sailor is much heavier than the boat. Since the boat is up on the foils, no stability comes from the hull. It's a balancing act, a bit like riding a bike.

INTERNATIONAL MOTH SPEED GUIDE
Max vang should be achieved in 15 knots and max cunningham in 18 knots. The Moth gets overpowered quickly, and from 18 knots upwards a softer tip or different sail is required. North's LA and DS designs have a slight variation in the luff rounds to cover the range, with the DS being aimed at 14 knots true wind speed.
