Jake Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/18/01 Posts: 10360 Loc: South Carolina	oh lord. That's insane. Assuming it increases the speed, it's going to add a whole new dimension to racing these as they will now slow down so much in the turn (or...I assume they will). The C-class experience to date didn't show much promise with lifting foils on a catamaran - but their horsepower is limited. Maybe with the additional headsails and such, this will make sense. That looks wicked fast. _________________________ Jake Kohl A-cat F-18 Team Seacats

That looks wicked fast. Willing to bet they manage to figure out how to tack it without coming off of foils.
