Like the blonde says in the HDTV commercial, "I totally don't understand it,
but I WUNT ONE!"
I believe we are seeing two foils, with the aft one having an elevator. Is
that what everyone else sees?
One of the striking things you can see here is, this craft can be sailed
flat or even heeled slightly into the wind. This harks back to a design that
I had tried about 30 years ago as a model, where I concluded that heeling
into the wind, if you could get your hull(s) up and out of the water, would
give you a fantastic increase in speed, with the penalty of a certain amount
of leeway. Here, these guys don't seem to suffer much leeway, and the speed
is absolutely thrilling.
Imagine this scaled up to about 30 feet!
