Quant 23 Introduction

Yachting World asks Michael Aeppli, the founder of the Quant 23, how this first foiling keelboat works and why

Dude, how hard is it to answer the question ^^

So, after nearly two years, and no doubt more development. How well does it point, and is it faster up and down wind than lets say an 18 footer? It's certainly a cool boat... When do we see a 30ft version with accommodation?

The hull shape looks the same as the old double-chined moth design of the 1970's which I use to sail.

Interesting - it looks like this boat would get knocked down pretty easily - would like to see it running in some wind
