It's still live, but replay will probably be on the Front Page of SA and will def. be in the C class thread in multihull section of SA.

Where is the main info on the event? Why did several competitors not compete (and why is Fred Eaton listed as crew on there twice?).

Fred Eaton isn't listed as crew twice, he has two teams in the event.

That's the team name "Team Fred Eaton" . Bryan Paine is support and works for him.

Why so many DNS's?

Were they no shows, or too much wind or...?

The water doesn't look like there's too much wind, is it the foiling (crashes) that's causing all the DNS's?

They had moments of instability downwind. Some times looked awesome, others not so much (not that I could do any better smile )

Seems like Frank Camas has it figured out, what type of foils is he using, the L or C or V or...? And does he have some type of elevator control system on T rudders to control his elevation above the water?

Timbo,
This will answer your questions and give you the option of buying a foiling cat soon. Alex said on the press boat live today that the Foiling Phantom is going to be marketed after the Paris boat show ,which it will be in.So there's your chance for all that tech you wanted.

DNCs were from gear failure in very puffy conditions.

Thanks for the info, now I've got to get a powerball ticket!

I was watching some of the regatta video on that link, it's amazing how much more stable some of them are, than the others.
