Above—Part of a hull for the 53' (16.2m) Eagle, a foiling catamaran under

construction at Fast Forward, is suspended over the carbon  ber tooling. Note

that bulkheads and some longitudinal structures are built in before pulling the

part from the mold. Right—The delicate tapered carbon  ber elements of the

hybrid wing sail that hold the clear-plastic covering in shape seem to grow out of

the backside of the D-spar and terminate in the thin sail track, being faired by

a shop technician.
