Great ride, looks like a future death trap.

Saw a high speed sailboat like that recently...took a few photos...it
was Larry Ellison's trimaran racer, the BMW Oracle. Damned fast boat.

So did the plane that Rutan designed and his girlfriend Jeana Yeager
flew around the world in 1986, but it still worked (at least once)

I'm no air-sailor, but I'd like to ride the hydro-foil thing (at least
once)

Harry, are you saying you took that photo? Really?


Harry doesn't do links. He's afraid of them.


I can't understand why anyone would doubt that Harry took that
picture. He probably did so right after his high speed ride thereon.
