Foil rules clarification

[MK]

Re rule 4.1.9 Anti Full Foiling Rule - Only one hydrofoil generating lift in a vertical axis and comprising one element is permitted.

What is the classes definition of element? as it is undefined in the equipment rules of sailing the technical rules are based on

I believe this was discussed internally and the basic end of the conversation was something like : through motorsport a single element is fairly clearly defined so we don’t need to generate a definition for what is already out there….

My understanding is that flap on the back of a foil is part of a single element foil, a kite foil/ wingfoil that has two elements is two elements even if formed as part of a one piece moulding
