I don't think we need a mechanical system since we can shift CofG very quickly, because the sailor is by far the heaviest part of the system.

I agree - the easiest foiling axis to control is pitch 😀
Not need to have - nice to have!
Having tuned a few PID systems I honestly think you'd hate it.

Ok, that interesting - why? In my mind it would not just stabilize pitch, but allow you to go faster without increasing front foot pressure
but again - that’s the hypothesis
If any foiling board sport was going to develop this it would be efoil, but as far as I can tell they haven't.
I can't foresee any system which could be built into our equipment having the sensor suite to compensate for exactly how much moveable mass we have well above the center of lift.
