Weta foil design brief:
- One person rig, launch, retrieve and stow
- To be used for recreational and racing
- To give a high tech foil experience for a reasonably experienced sailor
- Must be robust with a rig tolerant of reasonable error
- To be sailed comfortably in a range of sea conditions in up to 20 knots of wind
- To keep in touch with an A cat upwind but have a good controllable downwind performance
- Easily dismantled for shipping
- Retail around USD20,000
The concept had great promise but it was hard to beat the simplicity, stability and versatility of the classic Weta.
