That's what I saw last year in Annapolis Harbor, and didn't know what they were. From a distance you can see that they're very fast, and you can't see the foil, so they look like they're flying above the surface of the water.

The Moth has been an extreme international development class for many years. There are a few measurement rules, including (I think) 11' LOA, monohull only. Within those few parameters, designers are encouraged to stretch the envelope any way they can think of. A lot of design ideas have come from the Moths--I think foiling might be an example. These days they zip around more like dragonflies than moths!
