Hi Quick question? Is it possible to convert a Murg MAch 2 Skippy to foiling? If so any advice?

Cheers in advance!

Yes. Not sure what a Mach2 Skippy is like but Harald in Germany has a converted Mach 1 Skippy. The dynamic loads are much higher on a foiler, so you may have to beef up all the joints of wingbars gantry etc...

It could be worth doing a Carbon Footprint project and cutting down the freeboard. Reuse the hull with a flat deck and new wing bars and centerboard case. This is a lot more work than doing a strap on but the end result will be competitive and stronger.
