47 knots is a rocket ship man. I can barely imagine... and I made my living on sailboats for over 17 years. Sponsored many events, regattas, national and world championships... even sponsored individual team riders for our then new Alpha sailboards... one of which held the speed record of production boards. A little faster than the 47 knots, BUT It was smaller than a slalom ski, but comprehending a true sail vessel, hydra-foil or not at 47 knots posses a lot of questions. truly uncanny. luck 2u

I would want a mouth guard, seat belt, life jacket, and crash helmet to take this ride!!! In 2004 I crashed my own catamaran running fast, in a down wind luff, only going about 1/2 the rate of this machine. The boat pitchpoled, I was fastened to the boat with a strong hiking strap over my left knee. The rapid deceleration inflicted a whip-lash injury at the top of my hips, breaking my third lumbar ! The lesson? Going fast is fun, stopping fast, much less so ! Happy sailing!

If you watch the vid. from 1.07 minutes the maneuver the are performing IS a jybe. The boat keeps it's speed and therefore can complete the jybe and not come off the foils, but it needs very quick crewing skills, hence the frantic rope pulling.

vessel speed at sea was measured using a chip log. This was a wooden panel, weighted on one edge to float perpendicular to the water surface, and present resistance to moving with respect to the water around it, attached by line to a reel. The chip log was "cast" over the stern and the line allowed to pay out. Knots placed at a distance of 47 feet 3 inches passed through a sailor's fingers, while another sailor used a 30 second sand-glassto time the operation.

@PaleHearse I believe that I acknowledged every aspect of the "record speed achievement", which you refer to in your reply. I am not of the yacht race set, however the success of the design should also accomplish the task of allowing the crew to trim their craft with the least amount of peril to themselves. The whole procedure appeared to be pitched on the edge of a razor blade as it concerns crew safety. Pleasure cruise aside, running the equator of the craft every 20 seconds is crazy!

Well as i see the hydroptere is like 2-3 meters above sea level, and if a wave comes that is higher than that a bow of hydroptere would ram in it and it will slow down so intense that probably it's mast would crack. No matter of it's hydrofoil If you looked on Americas Cup in 2003 for Team New Zealand a sail was hit by a wave and the mast cracked.

I beleive the two devices (hydro stabalizers/whatever?) that reach into the water at each of the wings may be moved inwards or outwards by the driver. Depending on the feel of the craft the driver makes the slight adjustments at the wheel. You dont see him moving the wheel much. that is my view/opinion.

@1955thekeeper Didn't look any different from any yacht race I've ever seen. What you were seeing is them trimming it out for maximum speed.. they weren't on a pleasure cruse. Wonder what the minimum speed to get it aloft is... that would be more the question as to the success of the design. Bottom line is that any time you can reduce your waterline to about a foot and a half it's got to be a plus. (grin) I loved it.

if the boat started to lean, the hydrofoil would not work, the high side would pick up out of the water and the low side would sink and act as an extra rudder. probably causing all kinds of steering issues.

I personally doubt it could go around the world, as in 60 knots there is too much force on the hydrofoils and it just pitchpoles. And round cape horn the wind is usually around 60 knots. For lift, it uses hydrofoils which are like plane wings but use water not air to generate lift.

Horizontal sails placed at top of mast are faster then ANY vertical sails because they catch faster wind. Horizontal sails are more consistent with hydrofoils. They make boat more stable therefore less then 3 hydrofoils is needed and there is less resistance from water. More speed I say! Next time more money to think tank.

I don't know anything about this craft but it appears to be built quit differantly than a trimaran which I don't know anything about either (forgive me). It just seems to me it would have some extra drag if it couldn't hydroplane properly. It appears to be made to hydoplane and needs to be going above a certain speed to do it. None of us know anything much about this because it seems they are keeping alot of this secret and for their good reasons. Yes in fair conditions but what about rough?
