: Boat prep at the launching ramp

Chris,

Hi. Looks interesting and something I (like others it seems) have thought about at one time or another.

It looks like the foils can be raised/lowered from inside the cockpit? That would certainly add to versatility/use as those I've seen had fixed foils, making launching/recovery at a beach a bit of a chore.

I had looked at the Foil Kayak (link below for those who don't know it) but like the sail idea better - I reckon I'd get stuffed pretty quickly trying to maintain foil speed by paddling!

Regards,
