Here's the problem you run into if you cannot control the ride height (at about 1:10 he starts flying)

Yep, I said that in my post but neither of those videos shows a boat on a race course against other boats, because it hasn't happened sucessfully, in a constantly controlled manner. Hopping and flying are vastly different, you of anybody should know that. grin A great Litmus test is coming up in a week with the Little AC/ C class worlds. Can't wait to see how that goes.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
