How interesting are modern Skiff Moths?

I was test sailing with a client this week, and got the shock of my life as I watched this guy blast past us.  I know, I know, foiler moths are so old news these days.  Yawn.  I don't care.  It's the first time I've seen one zip past in full song, and I could not help but be impressed.  I want one, I want one, I want one!  They look so absurd as they zip past, 12 - 16 inches in the air, looking as narrow as a single hull of a cobra catamaran and sporting a camber induced rig from a formula sailboard.  They are amazing.  Watching this bloke gybe was a highlight.  Photo 4 caught him mid-gybe.  He made the gybe easily, but went five feet and stacked it.  Oh well!
