Moth Foil Update

Moth Foil Update

The Moth Class recently voted to keep the Class rules unchanged for foils, which means there are no restrictions placed on vertical foils. 

 Following this decision, Mackay Boats has begun work on foil options for 2025. This will include three new foils.

  • The MH-V10 will be a versatile all-around foil, featuring approximately 10% less area than the popular MH-V5 and designed to be an up-range foil.
  • The RV-V5 is a new steel rudder, which will have a 460mm reduced drag steel section. 
  • Due to high demand, we will also produce an MV-V5, featuring a 450mm reduced drag steel section. This foil is designed for rougher water and higher winds, with the steel extending an additional 50mm up the foil compared to the MV-V4.  The lower 400mm remains the same as the MV-V4.

 Given the short time frame, there will be limited production capacity for these leading up to the Lake Garda Worlds. If you plan on making a foil change to any of the above options, please contact us as soon as possible.
