Hydroptere flys again
 

Did I tell you I've decided to study French again? No joke.
I studied it for 8 years when I was young and not very
interested. I've found a way to get college level courses for
free, so I thought, why not?

As much as I like to pick on the French. I can't when
it comes to their national resume for solo sailing, or their
cutting edge mulithull production.

Yep, you want a fast tri...you fly to France.

Then you fly back--on foils!

Until you smack into a log, container ect...

I bet anything floating over 200lbs would take out the foil.

It's a cool toy, but I bet they do not sail at night.

It's built for speed Joe..Like a Formula 1 car..there are risks near
the envelope

Indeed. I think it's an awesome boat, and unique, ingenious foil design
and layout.

I wonder if the forward foils are fixed or trimmable.

It would be a blast to try to set the tran atlantic with her or better
around the globe in less than 60 days. But like Team Philips you better
be expecting to come apart, that said I think it a stouter and far
better boat than Team Philips. But who are they going to race against?
Just the clock?

BTW I'd make a better helmsman than the clown in the video, he gets
squirlley a time or two, clearly not familiar with high speeds.
