Looks like it needs a bigger pond :)

That masthead float will prove its worth.

I wonder if that can be done with Moths?
I was gonna paste a link from youtube, but those damn blarin' background musics gotta go..

Hmm... Footy ideas. I wonder if a hydrofoil lift keel and rudder could work for the downwind legs.

Those Moths with hydrofoil could be possible design for it

Looks like a model of l'Hydroptère.

If built as that model in the video above in #1, I think shifting bodyweight wouldn't be needed... Just hang on and enjoy the fast trip..:D
