  • I absolutely agree. Hydrofoils to that craft would make that a more faster and comfortable ride as well. But i have not done as much research as they have. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

  • Really nice boat you have made.. I havnt seen anything like this before

  • Turn that thing into a hydrofoil and youll take the record easy.

  • I love it! Even if you don't take the record, that is one crazy ride!

  • @ 2:22 it sure stops on a dime! Did he put on the brakes? lol

  • Your a bloody nut, thats mental

  • Paul, I just saw you today on Discovery science TV in Beyond Tomorrow.

  • "We tacked at 35knots".. gotta love it.

    I've been following this from the "model" stage. You guys have come a long way! I bet you get 50 for sure. GOOD WORK!

  • he broke it...

  • It`s just moving with Wind???I never saw somthing like that befor Amazing...Good Luck from Swizerland

  • It's called a "sailing boat"

  • Great work Team..following your progress from chilly Central Canada..I was involved with the WindJet project in Canada on the ice here a few years ago. Sorry to see your setbacks and am pleased you are using them as learning steps..I sail a E class Skeeter on ice here and know what that acceleration feels like. Like putting your head in a paint shaker and turning it on

    Nice Videos Thks DonE

  • what happened to the "air rudder"?

  • The air rudder is resting for now. Malc still likes it and it may feature later when we have a better handle on the configuration of the boat for high speed work. It seems that the fixed skeg will be here to stay on this version of Sailrocket... so we might as well use it for steering. The air rudder does solve a few problems such as ventilation which may affect the skeg steering at higher speeds.

  • Great stuff, Paul.

    Damned good that CompoTech main spar . . . looks like it stronger than it needs to be !

  • I can't believe how hard that thing pulls when you punch it. Good luck in the next session and thanks for sharing these super cool vids.

  • Thumbs up for your next session. You will make it!
