A sailing vid on a stinkboat site....say it aint so!
(although there are days I'd have more fun sailing on the lake when the wind is rockin'). 8-)

Thought this was pretty cool.

Hydrofoils on America's Cup sailing vessels in the future. Maybe Thunder550 can install them on his Cobalt. ;)

There are smaller sailing boats (who race as well) currently using these hydrofoils. Very fast, but man things can go wrong in a hurry. Still, fascinating technology...

Too cool! I love hydrofoils, the way they lift the boats out of the water is awesome.

Speaking of hydrofoils on a boat...

That's cool, T550. Love the age of those guys experimenting with hydrofoils. Funny, but cool video....even if it is a Bayliner. :D
thanx for posting.
