We hold a hull flying contest in our annual End of Summer Happening in Israel. We use 2 formats:
Put balloons on a tall pole on a buoy. Competitors have to come close while flying as high as possible and pop a balloon with a pin. The highest balloon popped determines the winner. You have to carefully control boat entry into the area, otherwise near collisions tend to occur.
The second format is 2 buoys spaced about 100 yards appart, and whoever flies longest wins.
You can see the hull flying from minute 4 in this movie
