And on that second day of the 100 hour trip, they broke the port foil forcing them to "slow down" and only average 32.7 knots! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Would this not be more effective when flying the windward and central hulls?
Would this not also increase the safety and control?
