Jake got this absolutely right !

The most stunning thing about Hydroptere is that this boat is raking up the speeds in open water.

All the windsurfer and even Innovation explorer records are done in perfectly flat water only a few meters aways from a dry sandbar, the coast or in a specially dug ditch.

Hydroptere does it amids a rought seastate.

As such Hydroptere is something really really special. Wouldn't it be fun if they crossed the 50 knots barrier first and none of the special craft in very special ditches (c.q. locations)

Hell Hydroptere could theoretically cross the atlantic this way !

And that is not me just saying that, here , they announce the plan to build a version that will sail around the world.
