This is the the new home built and designed boat from Mr Furuya in Japan. We only have the following information provided by Naomi Tachibana...

"I send photo of Furuya's design Moth with Mr.Furuya(63 years old most oldest hydro moth sailor on the world).

He designed and build many Moth in japan. Rudder has not flap with symmetry. Boat has very low freeboard, open and flat deck. All up boat weight is 25kg."

It certainly looks radical and beautifully built.


Mr Furuya, 63

Clean deck, low freeboard, big adjustable gantry. Mounting outside the hull is unusual. Wings end well forward like the Prowler 3.

Hungry Tiger/Prowler inspired transom profile

No foredeck but a strut supports mast loads. Looks like the Fastacraft cable to control the foil flap

Self made foils with no rudder flap
