Hi!
The 49er performing poor against the two others was too clear, but overall a great video!
My suggestions for the next round:
- Aussie 18footer (Preferably a B18, width wide Wings attached, not the modern castrated version)
- modern A-Cat XL (Wider A-Cat)
- Real fast 2-man cat like Eagle 20, Marstrøm M20, Nacra FF20 Carbon or a modern Tornado
- the mythical hurricane 6.5 (An old cat that is said to be the fastest ever build, extremely rare)
- R-Class Skiff on Foils
- Maybe The SK4-Skiff (A selfmade prototype by made by some guy in UK)
- The Mirabaud LX (18footer inspired pure foiling machine prototype)
- modern windsurfer (Maybe on foil too, but that looks ugly)
- a trifoiler like the one Hobie used to build
- Kite and Moth are great and can stay :-)
